SUMMARY
To convert revolutions per second (rev/sec) to linear velocity, one must multiply the rev/sec value by the circumference of the circular path. The formula is linear velocity = rev/sec × circumference. This conversion is essential for applications involving rotational motion, such as in mechanical engineering and physics. Understanding this relationship allows for accurate calculations in various engineering scenarios.
