60 RPM to rad/s
60 RPM ≈ 6.28 rad/s
60 revolutions per minute is approximately 6.28 radians per second.
How to convert 60 RPM to rad/s
Use the formula rad/s = RPM × 0.10471975512:
rad/s = 60 × 0.10471975512rad/s = 6.283185
So 60 RPM = 6.283185 rad/s, or about 6.28 rad/s rounded.
Rounded values and quick estimate
- Rounded to a whole number: 6 rad/s
- Rounded to one decimal place: 6.3 rad/s
- Conversion factor: 1 revolution per minute = 0.1047 radians per second
Quick mental estimate: divide by 10 (multiply by 0.105). For 60 RPM that gives about 6 rad/s — off by 0.2832 rad/s (4.5%). Use the exact formula when precision matters.
