How to Convert Degree/minute to Radian/second

Converting Degree/minute (°/min) to Radian/second (rad/s) is a core calculation in Angular Velocity, which measures the rotational speed and rate of angular displacement per unit of time. Because Radian/second is a broader physical scale than Degree/minute, converting from °/min to rad/s condenses the numerical figure. It takes 3437.746771 Degree/minute to equal a single Radian/second (1 °/min = 0.000290888 rad/s). To convert any quantity, multiply by 0.000290888 (or divide by 3437.746771).

Mathematical Conversion Derivation via Coherent SI Base Unit

Under the International System of Quantities (ISQ), dimensional conversion between non-SI units is rigorously resolved by bridging through the coherent SI base unit (radian per second (rad/s)) without arbitrary rounding:

V_{\text{target}} = V_{\text{source}} \times \left( \frac{k_{\text{source} \to \text{SI}}}{k_{\text{target} \to \text{SI}}} \right)

Universal Dimensional Conversion Law (ISO 80000 / NIST SP 811)

1. Source SI Bridge (k_source):1 °/min = 0.000290888 radian per second (rad/s)

2. Target SI Bridge (k_target):1 rad/s = 1 radian per second (rad/s)

Step-by-step substitution for Degree/minute → Radian/second:V(rad/s) = V(°/min) × ( 0.000290888 / 1 ) = V(°/min) × 0.000290888

Mathematical FormulaValue in Radian/second = Value in Degree/minute × 0.00029088821Direct computational formula applied for standard conversion.

Worked Example

To convert 50 Degree/minute (°/min) to Radian/second (rad/s): multiply 50 by 0.000290888 to get 0.0145444 rad/s. At an industrial engineering scale, 480 °/min converts to 0.139626 rad/s.

Inverse check: 1 rad/s = 3437.746771 °/min.
