How to convert degrees per second to revolutions per second
Angular speed measures rotation, not linear speed. To find tangential speed you also need the radius. Revolutions per minute are divided by 60 when converted to revolutions per second.
Use x for the value in °/s, b for the intermediate value in rad/s, and y for the result in rev/s.
rev/s = °/s × 0.017453292519943295 ÷ 6.283185307179586
Worked examples
10 °/s ≈ 0.0277777777778 rev/s
Step 1: (10 × 0.0174532925199) ≈ 0.174532925199 rad/s.
Step 2: 0.174532925199 ÷ 6.28318530718 ≈ 0.0277777777778 rev/s.20 °/s ≈ 0.0555555555556 rev/s
Step 1: (20 × 0.0174532925199) ≈ 0.349065850399 rad/s.
Step 2: 0.349065850399 ÷ 6.28318530718 ≈ 0.0555555555556 rev/s.
Results are rounded to 12 significant digits. Converting units does not increase the precision of the original measurement. Very large or small values outside JavaScript’s finite numeric range are rejected.
About Degrees per second
Degrees per second (°/s) measures velocity angular under the conventions above. The base value in rad/s is (x × 0.0174532925199), where x is the numerical value in °/s. Factors shown here are rounded for display; calculations use the stored factor.
About Revolutions per second
Revolutions per second (rev/s) measures velocity angular under the conventions above. The base value in rad/s is (x × 6.28318530718), where x is the numerical value in rev/s. Factors shown here are rounded for display; calculations use the stored factor.
