Enter the number of revolutions and the time in seconds into the calculator to determine the turns per second. This calculator helps in analyzing the rotational speed of an object.

Turns Per Second Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the turns per second.

TPS = frac{R}{T}

Variables:

  • TPS is the turns per second
  • R is the number of revolutions (turns)
  • T is the time in seconds

To calculate the turns per second, divide the number of revolutions by the time in seconds.

What is Turns Per Second?

Turns per second is a measure of rotational speed, indicating how many complete turns an object makes in one second. It is a common unit of measure in engineering and physics to describe the speed of rotating objects such as wheels, gears, and motors.

How to Calculate Turns Per Second?

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


  1. First, determine the number of revolutions (R).
  2. Next, determine the time (T) in seconds during which the revolutions occurred.
  3. Use the formula TPS = R / T to calculate the turns per second.
  4. Finally, enter the values into the calculator above to verify the result.

Example Problem : 

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

Number of revolutions (R) = 120 turns

Time (T) = 60 seconds
