Enter the number of revolutions and the time in seconds into the calculator to determine the revolutions per second (RPS).

RPS Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the revolutions per second (RPS).

RPS = frac{Revolutions}{Time}

Variables:

  • RPS is the revolutions per second
  • Revolutions is the number of turns or cycles
  • Time is the duration in seconds over which the revolutions are counted

To calculate RPS, divide the number of revolutions by the time in seconds.

What is RPS?

RPS stands for revolutions per second, which is a measure of rotational speed. It indicates how many complete turns an object makes in one second. This unit is commonly used in various applications such as measuring the speed of motors, turbines, and other rotating machinery.

How to Calculate RPS?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Revolutions Per Second.

  1. First, determine the total number of revolutions completed.
  2. Next, determine the time in seconds over which the revolutions were counted.
  3. Use the formula RPS = Revolutions / Time.
  4. Finally, calculate the Revolutions Per Second (RPS).
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

Revolutions = 120 turns

Time = 60 seconds
