Mechanical Engineering Conversion Factors: Angular Velocity

This document provides conversion factors for various units used in mechanical engineering. Some key conversions include: - 1 hertz = 1 cycle per second = 60 revolutions per minute - 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters = 0.0254 meters - 1 kilogram = 1000 grams = 2.2046 pounds - 1 joule = 1 kilogram-meter squared per second squared = the work required to exert a force of 1 newton through a distance of 1 meter.
