RPM to Distance Calculator

Formula

To calculate the distance traveled based on RPM:

\[ Drpm = RPM \times \pi \times WD \times T \]

Where:

\(Drpm\) is the distance traveled in inches
\(RPM\) is the total rotations per minute
\(WD\) is the wheel diameter in inches
\(T\) is the time in minutes

What is RPM to Distance Calculation?

The RPM to distance calculation determines how far an object has traveled based on its rotational speed, wheel diameter, and time. It is useful in various applications such as vehicle speed measurement and mechanical systems analysis.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

RPM = 500
Wheel Diameter (\(WD\)) = 10 inches
Time (\(T\)) = 2 minutes

Use the formula:

\[ Drpm = 500 \times \pi \times 10 \times 2 = 10000 \times \pi \approx 31415.93 \text{ inches} \]

The distance traveled is approximately 31415.93 inches.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

RPM = 200
Wheel Diameter (\(WD\)) = 12 inches
Time (\(T\)) = 5 minutes

Use the formula:

\[ Drpm = 200 \times \pi \times 12 \times 5 = 12000 \times \pi \approx 37699.11 \text{ inches} \]

The distance traveled is approximately 37699.11 inches.
