The conversion of 32 rpm to radians results in approximately 3.351 rad.
This is because one revolution per minute (rpm) equals 2π radians divided by 60 seconds, so multiplying 32 rpm by (2π / 60) gives the radians per second, which is about 3.351 rad.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert rpm to radians involves multiplying the rpm value by (2π / 60). This works because each revolution is 2π radians, and rpm measures revolutions per minute. So, multiplying rpm by (2π / 60) gives radians per second. For example, with 32 rpm: 32 * (2π / 60) = 3.351 rad.
Conversion Example
- Convert 10 rpm to rad:
- Multiply 10 by (2π / 60): 10 * (2π / 60) = 10 * 0.10472 = 1.0472 rad.
- Convert 50 rpm to rad:
- 50 * (2π / 60) = 50 * 0.10472 = 5.236 rad.
- Convert 100 rpm to rad:
- 100 * (2π / 60) = 100 * 0.10472 = 10.472 rad.
- Convert 75 rpm to rad:
- 75 * (2π / 60) = 75 * 0.10472 = 7.854 rad.
- Convert 5 rpm to rad:
- 5 * (2π / 60) = 5 * 0.10472 = 0.5236 rad.

Conversion Definitions
rpm (revolutions per minute) measures how many complete turns an object makes in one minute, useful in motors and rotations. Radians are a unit of angle measurement, where one full circle equals 2π radians, used in mathematics and physics for angular calculations.
Conversion FAQs
How is rpm related to radians per second?
Rpm can be converted to radians per second by multiplying by (2π / 60). This shifts from revolutions per minute to radians per second, allowing for more precise angular velocity calculations in physics and engineering.
Why do we multiply by 2π in conversions?
Because one revolution equals 2π radians, multiplying by 2π converts revolutions into radians, making it possible to work with angles in a continuous, mathematical context.
Is converting rpm to radians necessary for motor calculations?
Yes, because many formulas involving angular velocity, torque, and power use radians per second, so converting rpm to radians simplifies calculations and ensures units are consistent.
