Convert Degrees per hour per second to Radians per second squared
Convert Degrees per hour per second (°/h/s) to Radians per second squared (rad/s²) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
rad/s² = °/h/s × 4.848136811e-6
About Degrees per hour per second
The degree per hour per second (°/h/s) equals π/648000 ≈ 4.848 × 10⁻⁶ rad/s², numerically identical to 1 °/min². Gyroscope bias ramp rate - the rate at which drift error accelerates - is specified in °/h/s per IEEE 952-1997; strategic-grade fibre-optic inertial navigation units achieve values below 0.001 °/h/s. 1 °/h/s = π/648000 rad/s² ≈ 4.848 × 10⁻⁶ rad/s².
About Radians per second squared
The radian per second squared (rad/s²) is the SI coherent derived unit of angular acceleration. It appears in Newton's second law for rotation: τ = Iα, where torque τ is in N·m, moment of inertia I in kg·m², and angular acceleration α in rad/s². All engineering simulation tools (MATLAB, Simulink, ROS, FEM solvers) use rad/s² natively. A typical electric motor under full load accelerates at 10-100 rad/s². 1 rad/s² ≈ 57.296 °/s² ≈ 9.549 rpm/s.
