Homework Statement
Whitworth quick return mechanism. Rotational input in degrees results in linear slider acceleration (output) in meters. Convert this acceleration from meters per degree squared to meters per radian squared. (The angle substitutes time.)
Homework Equations
Multiplication factor (m/deg^2 to m/rad^2): 57.296^2
The Attempt at a Solution
See the above multiplication factor. Is that correct? If so, why is it squared and not simply 57.296, which is the conversion factor between radians and degrees?
