Convert any value from / to revolutions per minute [rpm] to kilometers per hour [km/h], angular velocity to linear velocity. Fill one of the following fields, values will be converted and updated automatically.
The angular velocity of the wheel (in rpm) can be converted into \( m.s^{-1} \) thanks to the following formula:
$$ v_{(m.s^{-1})} = r \times \omega_{(rad.s^{-1})} = r \times \frac {2 \pi }{60}.N_{(rpm)} $$
It becomes easy to convert this linear velocity expressed in \(m.s^{-1} \) into \(km.h^{-1} \) thanks to the following formula:
$$ v_{ (km.h^{-1}) } = \frac {3600}{1000}.v_{(m.s^{-1})} = 3.6 \times v_{(m.s^{-1})}$$
By merging the two previous equations, we can deduce the relationship between revolution per minute [rpm] and kilometers per hour [km/h]:
$$ v_{ (km.h^{-1}) } = \frac {3600}{1000} \times r \times \frac {2 \pi }{60}.N_{(rpm)} = \frac {3}{25}. \pi. r . N_{(rpm)} $$
et vice versa:
$$ N_{(rpm)} = \frac {25} { 3. \pi . r} v_{(km.h^{-1})} $$
