How to Convert Degree/second² to Radian/second²

Converting Degree/second² (°/s²) to Radian/second² (rad/s²) is a core calculation in Angular Acceleration, which measures the rate of change of rotational velocity over time about a rotation axis. Because Radian/second² is a broader physical scale than Degree/second², converting from °/s² to rad/s² condenses the numerical figure. It takes 57.29578 Degree/second² to equal a single Radian/second² (1 °/s² = 0.0174533 rad/s²). To convert any quantity, multiply by 0.0174533 (or divide by 57.29578).

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 squared (rad/s²)) 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 °/s² = 0.0174533 radian per second squared (rad/s²)

2. Target SI Bridge (k_target):1 rad/s² = 1 radian per second squared (rad/s²)

Step-by-step substitution for Degree/second² → Radian/second²:V(rad/s²) = V(°/s²) × ( 0.0174533 / 1 ) = V(°/s²) × 0.0174533
