Convert 50 rpm to dps

How to convert rotations per minute to degrees per second

We all use different units of measurement every day. Whether you're in a foreign country and need to convert the local imperial units to metric, or you're baking a cake and need to convert to a unit you are more familiar with.

Luckily, converting most units is very, very simple. In this case, all you need to know is that 1 rpm is equal to 6.0000000000001 dps.

Once you know what 1 rpm is in degrees per second, you can simply multiply 6.0000000000001 by the total rotations per minute you want to calculate.

So for our example here we have 50 rotations per minute. So all we do is multiply 50 by 6.0000000000001:

What is the best conversion unit for 50 rpm?

As an added little bonus conversion for you, we can also calculate the best unit of measurement for 50 rpm.

What is the "best" unit of measurement? To keep it simple, let's say that the best unit of measure is the one that is the lowest possible without going below 1. The reason for this is that the lowest number generally makes it easier to understand the measurement.

For 50 rpm the best unit of measurement is radians per second, and the amount is 5.2345058626466 rps.
