900 rpm equals approximately 94.2478 radians per second
Converting 900 rpm to radians involves multiplying the revolutions per minute by a conversion factor because there are 2π radians in a revolution, and 60 seconds in a minute. So, 900 rpm translates to about 94.2478 rad/sec, giving a clear measure of rotational speed in radians.

Conversion Formula
The conversion formula from rpm (revolutions per minute) to radians per second (rad/sec) is: radians = rpm * (2π) / 60. This works because each revolution equals 2π radians, and there are 60 seconds in a minute. Multiplying rpm by 2π gives radians per minute, then dividing by 60 converts to rad/sec. For example, at 900 rpm: 900 * 2π / 60 = 94.2478 rad/sec.
Conversion Example
- Convert 600 rpm to rad/sec:
- Step 1: Write formula: radians = rpm * 2π / 60
- Step 2: Substitute rpm = 600: 600 * 2π / 60
- Step 3: Calculate: 600 * 6.2832 / 60 = 62.832 rad/sec
- This means at 600 rpm, object rotates approximately 62.832 radians each second.
- Convert 1200 rpm to rad/sec:
- Step 1: Formula: radians = 1200 * 2π / 60
- Step 2: Calculate: 1200 * 6.2832 / 60
- Step 3: Result: 125.664 rad/sec
- This shows higher speed in radians per second for 1200 rpm.
- Convert 450 rpm to rad/sec:
- Step 1: Formula: radians = 450 * 2π / 60
- Step 2: Calculation: 450 * 6.2832 / 60
- Step 3: Result: 47.119 rad/sec
- This indicates how fast an object spins at 450 rpm in radians/sec.

Conversion Definitions
rpm
Revolutions per minute (rpm) measures how many complete turns an object makes in one minute, indicating rotational speed. It counts the number of full rotations completed in 60 seconds, providing a standard for comparing rotational velocities.
rad
Radian (rad) is a unit of angular measurement representing the angle at the center of a circle subtended by an arc equal in length to the circle’s radius. It provides a natural measure of angles based on the properties of circles.
Conversion FAQs
How does changing rpm affect radians per second?
Increasing rpm directly increases radians per second because the conversion multiplies rpm by 2π/60. More rpm means more rotations per minute, hence more radians covered each second, making the rotational speed faster.
Why use radians instead of degrees in calculations?
Radians simplify mathematical formulas in calculus and physics because they relate directly to the properties of circles, making derivatives and integrals involving angles more straightforward without additional conversion factors.
Is the conversion accurate for all rpm values?
Yes, the formula is accurate for any rpm value because it’s based on fundamental circle geometry. However, for extremely high rpm, practical considerations like mechanical limits and measurement precision may affect real-world applications.
