Converting 1500 rpm to radians involves multiplying the revolutions per minute by a factor to change the unit into radians per second. This shows how many radians are covered each second when rotating at 1500 revolutions per minute.
Introduction
Rotational speed in rpm can be converted to radians per second because radians are a standard measure of angles, and they relate directly to revolutions. The conversion helps in physics and engineering to understand rotation in terms of angular displacement and velocity.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert rpm to radians per second is: radians/sec = rpm * (2π / 60). This works because one revolution equals 2π radians, and there are 60 seconds in a minute. Multiplying rpm by 2π/60 converts revolutions per minute to radians per second. For example, 1500 rpm: 1500 * (2π / 60) = 1500 * 0.10472 ≈ 157.08 rad/sec.
Conversion Example
- Convert 1000 rpm to rad/sec:
- Multiply 1000 by 2π/60
- 1000 * 0.10472 = 104.72 rad/sec
- Convert 2000 rpm to rad/sec:
- 2000 * 0.10472 = 209.44 rad/sec
- Convert 750 rpm to rad/sec:
- 750 * 0.10472 = 78.54 rad/sec
- Convert 300 rpm to rad/sec:
- 300 * 0.10472 = 31.42 rad/sec

Conversion Definitions
rpm (revolutions per minute) measures how many complete turns an object makes in a minute, used mostly in motors and engines to specify speed. Rad (radian) is a unit of angular measure, indicating the angle covered by rotating an object around a circle’s center in terms of its radius.
Angular velocity in radians per second is a measure of how fast an object rotates around a point, expressed as the angle in radians it covers each second. It relates directly to rpm through a conversion factor based on the circle’s circumference.
Conversion FAQs
How does changing rpm affect rad/sec?
Increasing rpm increases radians per second proportionally because both measure rotational speed but in different units. Doubling rpm doubles the rad/sec, making the rotation faster in angular terms.
Can I convert rpm to degrees per second instead of radians?
Yes, you can. To convert rpm to degrees per second, multiply rpm by 6, since one revolution equals 360 degrees and there are 60 seconds in a minute. For example, 1500 rpm: 1500 * 6 = 9000 degrees/sec.
Is the conversion factor always the same regardless of rpm value?
Yes, because the factor (2π/60) is constant. It applies universally whether you convert 1500 rpm or any other rpm to radians per second, ensuring consistent results across different speeds.
