What Is This Tool?

This online converter helps transform angular velocity units from degree per day (°/d) to revolution per second (r/s), enabling quick interpretation of slow angular motions as standard rotational frequencies.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the angular velocity value in degree/day [°/d].
  • Select the source unit as degree/day and target unit as revolution/second [r/s].
  • Click the convert button to get the equivalent value in revolution/second.

Key Features

  • Converts angular velocity units between degree/day and revolution/second.
  • Provides precise conversion based on the fixed relationship between degrees per day and revolutions per second.
  • Supports applications in astronomy, spacecraft attitude control, and engineering diagnostics.
  • Browser-based and easy to use without requiring installations.

Examples

  • 10 °/d is equivalent to 3.2150205761317e-7 r/s.
  • 100 °/d converts to 3.2150205761317e-6 r/s.

Common Use Cases

  • Translating slow planetary or astronomical rotation rates into per-second rotational frequencies.
  • Calculating spacecraft attitude drift and telescope tracking speeds for celestial observations.
  • Determining shaft speed or spin rates in electrical motors and rotating machinery.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure input values represent uniform rotational motion for proper conversion results.
  • Use high-precision instruments when dealing with the very small converted values.
  • Apply this conversion to assist in engineering diagnostics and scientific instrumentation analysis.

Limitations

  • Degree/day represents very slow angular velocities yielding extremely small revolution/second values.
  • Converted results may require sensitive measurement tools to be meaningful.
  • This tool assumes uniform rotation; non-uniform or oscillatory motions might need different methods.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does degree per day [°/d] measure?
Degree per day measures angular velocity as degrees rotated over a 24-hour period, often used for celestial body motions and slow rotations.

Why convert from degree/day to revolution/second?
Converting to revolution/second translates slow angular motions into standard rotational frequencies, useful in engineering and scientific contexts.

Can this conversion handle non-uniform rotations?
No, the conversion assumes uniform rotation; irregular motions require other analysis techniques.

Key Terminology

Degree/day [°/d]
An angular velocity unit expressing degrees rotated over one day, often utilized in astronomy for slow rotational rates.
Revolution/second [r/s]
A measure of angular speed counting full rotations completed each second, equivalent to rotational frequency in hertz.
