Here's how to convert revolutions per minute (rpm) to radians per second (rad/s):1. **Convert revolutions to radians:** There are
radians in one revolution.2. **Convert minutes to seconds:** There are 60 seconds in one minute.So, the conversion factor is
.Applying this to the given rotation speed:Angular velocity =
Therefore, the angular velocity is approximately
rad/s.
