Revolution per minute squared quick reference
| Revolution per minute squared | Radian per second squared | Revolution per minute per second | Degree per second squared |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 rev/min² | ≈ 0.001745329252 rad/s² | ≈ 0.01666666667 rpm/s | = 0.1 °/s² |
| 10 rev/min² | ≈ 0.01745329252 rad/s² | ≈ 0.1666666667 rpm/s | = 1 °/s² |
| 100 rev/min² | ≈ 0.1745329252 rad/s² | ≈ 1.666666667 rpm/s | = 10 °/s² |
| 1000 rev/min² | ≈ 1.745329252 rad/s² | ≈ 16.66666667 rpm/s | = 100 °/s² |
Where the revolution per minute squared fits
The next larger angular acceleration unit is the degree per second squared (°/s²). 1 rev/min² = 0.1 °/s², and 1 °/s² = 10 rev/min².
