does anyone know how to convert 33 revolutions/minute to velocity (meter/sec) when the radius is 1.47 meters?
The formula for converting Rev/min to m/sec is: velocity (m/sec) = (2 x pi x radius (m)) x (Rev/min) / 60.
The value of pi used in the conversion formula is 3.14159.
The radius in the conversion formula is the distance from the center of rotation to the outer edge of the circle. In this case, the radius is given as 1.47m.
Yes, the unit of Rev/min needs to be converted to revolutions per second (Rev/sec) by dividing by 60. The unit of meters (m) also needs to be added to the final velocity result.
Plugging in the given values into the formula, the resulting velocity is approximately 2.42 m/sec.
