How to Convert Radian/hour to Degree/second

Converting Radian/hour (rad/h) to Degree/second (°/s) is a core calculation in Angular Velocity, which measures the rotational speed and rate of angular displacement per unit of time. Because Degree/second is a broader physical scale than Radian/hour, converting from rad/h to °/s condenses the numerical figure. It takes 62.831853 Radian/hour to equal a single Degree/second (1 rad/h = 0.0159155 °/s). To convert any quantity, multiply by 0.0159155 (or divide by 62.831853).

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 rad/h = 0.000277778 radian per second (rad/s)

2. Target SI Bridge (k_target):1 °/s = 0.0174533 radian per second (rad/s)

Step-by-step substitution for Radian/hour → Degree/second:V(°/s) = V(rad/h) × ( 0.000277778 / 0.0174533 ) = V(rad/h) × 0.0159155

Worked Example

Evaluating an input of 12 Radian/hour (rad/h) produces 0.190986 Degree/second (°/s). In heavy-duty utility and industrial workloads, 240 rad/h equals 3.819719 °/s.

Inverse check: 1 °/s = 62.831853 rad/h.
