What are Minute and Second

Definition of Minute

A minute is a unit of time traditionally based on the second division of an hour by sixty, the first division being by twelve. It is equivalent to 60 seconds, and scientifically, it’s defined following the International System of Units as a certain number of seconds. In various contexts, a minute represents a short period of time, often more colloquial and less precisely measured than the exact 60 seconds in scientific and timing activities.

Definition of Second

A second is the base unit of time in the International System of Units (SI), universally accepted and widely used. It is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the cesium frequency, the unperturbed ground-state hyperfine transition frequency of the cesium 133 atom, to be 9,192,631,770 when expressed in the unit Hz, which is equal to s⁻¹. This definition provides a uniform measurement for the duration of a second, which is a fundamental component in timekeeping and a reference for other time units.

Minute to Second Conversion Table

Revolutions Per Minute (RPM) Revolutions Per Second (RPS)

Conversion of Minute to Second

1 RPM = 0.01667 RPS
1 RPS = 60 RPM

Example 1:
Convert 60 RPM to RPS:
60 RPM = 60 × 0.01667 RPS = 1 RPS

Example 2:
Convert 120 RPM to RPS:
120 RPM = 120 × 0.01667 RPS = 2 RPS

History of Minute and Second

The concept of converting revolutions per minute (RPM) to revolutions per second (RPS) has been integral in various fields such as mechanical engineering, physics, and manufacturing. This conversion is essential for understanding rotational speeds in different measurement units, facilitating the international standardization and comparison of machinery and rotational devices.
