Calculate Velocity to RPM (Revolutions Per Minute)



Formula

The formula to convert Velocity to RPM is:

\[ RPM = \frac{V}{\pi \times D} \times 60 \]

Where:

What is RPM?

RPM stands for revolutions per minute, and it is a unit of rotational speed or the frequency of rotation around a fixed axis. It measures the number of complete turns a wheel or another object makes in one minute. It is a common unit used in various applications, including automotive, engineering, and industrial machinery.

Example

Let's say the velocity (V) is 10 meters per second, and the wheel diameter (D) is 0.5 meters. Using the formula:

\[ RPM = \frac{10}{\pi \times 0.5} \times 60 \approx 381.97 \]

So, the revolutions per minute (RPM) is approximately 381.97.
