The M/S to RPM Calculator converts linear speed in meters per second (m/s) into revolutions per minute (RPM). This is especially useful in mechanical engineering, automotive applications, and any scenario involving rotating objects like wheels or motors.

Formula:

RPM = $\frac{\text{Linear Speed}}{\pi \times \text{Diameter}} \times 60$

Variable	Definition	Units
RPM	Rotational speed	Revolutions/minute
Linear Speed	Speed of the object	Meters/second
Diameter	Diameter of the rotating object	Meters
$\pi$	Pi (constant)	~3.1416

Solved Calculations:

Example 1: Convert 5 m/s to RPM for a wheel with a 0.5 m diameter.

Step	Value	Explanation
Linear Speed	5 m/s	Given
Diameter	0.5 m	Given
RPM	$\frac{5}{\pi \times 0.5} \times 60$	$\approx 191.99$ RPM

 

Example 2: Convert 12 m/s to RPM for a 1.2 m diameter wheel.

Step	Value	Explanation
Linear Speed	12 m/s	Given
Diameter	1.2 m	Given
RPM	$\frac{12}{\pi \times 1.2} \times 60$	$\approx 190.99$ RPM

What is the M/S to RPM ?

The M/S to RPM Calculator is a specialized tool. It empowers you to convert linear velocity measured in meters per second (m/s) into rotational speed measured in revolutions per minute (RPM).
