    revs to rads

    Hi:
    I am trying to convert revolutions to radians.
    90rev/s X 2pie/1rev
    so i can cancel the revs leaving 90 X 2pie/s
    now, I get 565.4866776rad/s
    but apparently I should get 283rad/s. Which is half of what I get.

    help!

    Hello, lemonz!

    I am trying to convert revolutions to radians.

    . . \frac{90\text{ rev}}{1\text{sec}} \times \frac{2\pi\text{ radians}}{1\text{ rev}} \:=\:180\pi\text{ rad/sec} \:\approx\:565.5\text{ rad/sec}


    but apparently I should get 283 rad/sec. . They are wrong!

    You are right!
