Discover the ease of converting degree minutes to radian days with Newtum's precision tool. Dive into the world of angle conversions and satisfy your curiosity with our intuitive converter.
A degree minute (arc minute, or minute of arc) is a unit of angular measurement equal to 1/60 of one degree. Since one degree is defined as 1/360 of a rotation, one minute of arc is 1/21,600 of a rotation, which can also be expressed as π/10,800 radians.
Definition of Radian dayA radian day is a non-standard unit of angular velocity. It represents the angle turned, in radians, by a rotating object during one day. Given that a full rotation is 2π radians and a day consists of 24 hours, a radian day can be seen as 2π/24 radian per hour.
Degree Minute | Radian Day |
---|---|
1' | 0.000229 |
10' | 0.002292 |
30' | 0.006875 |
60' | 0.013751 |
120' | 0.027502 |
180' | 0.041253 |
240' | 0.055004 |
300' | 0.068755 |
360' | 0.082506 |
420' | 0.096257 |
1' = 0.000229 radian days
60' = 0.013751 radian days
Example 1:
convert 30' to radian days:
30' = 30 × 0.000229 radian days = 0.006875 radian days
Example 2:
convert 180' to radian days:
180' = 180 × 0.000229 radian days = 0.041253 radian days
A brief history of the Degree minute to Radian day Converter traces back to the fields of astronomy and navigation, where precision in angular measurements was crucial. Over time, the need to convert between different units of angle for various applications led to the development of tools like this converter.
The Degree minute to Radian day Converter is a pivotal tool in fields requiring the precise measurement and conversion of angular units.
Example 1:
To convert 15 degree minutes to radian days:
15' = 15 × 0.000229 radian days = 0.003435 radian days
Example 2:
To convert 45 degree minutes to radian days:
45' = 45 × 0.000229 radian days = 0.010305 radian days
