degree per second [deg/s] to rotation per minute [rpm] Converter
How to Convert degree per second to rotation per minute
1 deg/s = 0.16666666666666669 rpm
1 rpm = 6 deg/s
Example: convert 10 deg/s to rpm:
10 deg/s = 10 x 0.16666666666666669 = 1.666666666666667 rpm
degree per second
Definition: Degrees per second (deg/s) is a unit of angular speed. It represents the rate of change of an angle in degrees over time, specifically the number of degrees rotated in one second.
History/origin: The degree as a unit of angle measurement dates back to ancient civilizations. The need to measure angular speed in engineering and physics led to the use of 'degrees per second' as a practical unit.
Current use: Degrees per second is used in various applications including robotics (measuring the speed of joint rotations), aviation (measuring the rate of turn of an aircraft), gaming (controlling the sensitivity of mouse or joystick movements), and navigation systems. It's a common unit for describing angular velocity in dynamic systems.
rotation per minute
Definition: Rotations per minute (rpm) is a unit of angular speed or rotational frequency. It specifies the number of complete rotations or revolutions completed in one minute.
History/origin: The concept of measuring rotational speed has been around for centuries, particularly in mechanical engineering. The specific term 'rotations per minute' became standardized with the development of machinery and engines.
Current use: RPM is commonly used to measure the speed of rotating machinery, such as engines, motors, turbines, and spinning disks (e.g., hard drives). It is a vital parameter in mechanical engineering, automotive engineering, and various industrial applications for controlling and monitoring rotational speeds.
