Many people wonder why radians do not appear when we have radians*meters. Here is an attempt at an explanation: Let s denote the length of an arc of a circle whose radius measures r. If the arc subtends an angle measuring β = n°, we can pose a rule of three: 360° _______ 2 • 𝜋 • r n° _______ s Then s = (n° / 360°) • 2 • 𝜋 • r If β = 180° (which means that n = 180, the number of degrees), then s = (180° / 360°) • 2 • 𝜋 • r The units "degrees" cancel out and the result is s = (1 / 2) • 2 • 𝜋 • r s = 𝜋 • r that is, half of the circumference 2 • 𝜋 • r. If the arc subtends an angle measuring β = θ rad, we can pose a rule of three: 2 • 𝜋 rad _______ 2 • 𝜋 • r θ rad _______ s Then s = (θ rad / 2 • 𝜋 rad) • 2 • 𝜋 • r If β = 𝜋 rad (which means that θ = 𝜋, the number of radians), then s = (𝜋 rad / 2 • 𝜋 rad) • 2 • 𝜋 • r The units "radians" cancel out and the result is s = (1 / 2) • 2 • 𝜋 • r s = 𝜋 • r that is, half of the circumference 2 • 𝜋 • r. If we take the formula with the angles measured in radians, we can simplify s = (θ rad / 2 • 𝜋 rad) • 2 • 𝜋 • r s = θ • r where θ denotes the "number of radians" (it does not have the unit "rad"). θ = β / (1 rad) and θ is a dimensionless variable [rad/rad = 1]. However, many consider θ to denote the measure of the angle and for the example believe that θ = 𝜋 rad and radians*meter results in meters rad • m = m since, according to them, the radian is a dimensionless unit. This solves the problem of units for them and, as it has served them for a long time, they see no need to change it. But the truth is that the solution is simpler, what they have to take into account is the meaning of the variables that appear in the formulas, i.e. θ is just the number of radians without the unit rad. Mathematics and Physics textbooks state that s = θ • r and then θ = s / r It seems that this formula led to the error of believing that 1 rad = 1 m/m = 1 and that the radian is a dimensionless derived unit as it appears in the International System of Units (SI), when in reality θ = 1 m/m = 1 and knowing θ = 1, the angle measures β = 1 rad. In the formula s = θ • r the variable θ is a dimensionless variable, it is a number without units, it is the number of radians. When confusing what θ represents in the formula, some mistakes are made in Physics in the units of certain quantities, such as angular speed. My guess is that actually the angular speed ω is not measured in rad/s but in (rad/rad)/s = 1/s = s^(-1).
Thank you po Prof D, learn po so much!
Many people wonder why radians do not appear when we have radians*meters.
Here is an attempt at an explanation:
Let s denote the length of an arc of a circle whose radius measures r.
If the arc subtends an angle measuring β = n°, we can pose a rule of three:
360° _______ 2 • 𝜋 • r
n° _______ s
Then
s = (n° / 360°) • 2 • 𝜋 • r
If β = 180° (which means that n = 180, the number of degrees), then
s = (180° / 360°) • 2 • 𝜋 • r
The units "degrees" cancel out and the result is
s = (1 / 2) • 2 • 𝜋 • r
s = 𝜋 • r
that is, half of the circumference 2 • 𝜋 • r.
If the arc subtends an angle measuring β = θ rad, we can pose a rule of three:
2 • 𝜋 rad _______ 2 • 𝜋 • r
θ rad _______ s
Then
s = (θ rad / 2 • 𝜋 rad) • 2 • 𝜋 • r
If β = 𝜋 rad (which means that θ = 𝜋, the number of radians), then
s = (𝜋 rad / 2 • 𝜋 rad) • 2 • 𝜋 • r
The units "radians" cancel out and the result is
s = (1 / 2) • 2 • 𝜋 • r
s = 𝜋 • r
that is, half of the circumference 2 • 𝜋 • r.
If we take the formula with the angles measured in radians, we can simplify
s = (θ rad / 2 • 𝜋 rad) • 2 • 𝜋 • r
s = θ • r
where θ denotes the "number of radians" (it does not have the unit "rad").
θ = β / (1 rad)
and θ is a dimensionless variable [rad/rad = 1].
However, many consider θ to denote the measure of the angle and for the example believe that
θ = 𝜋 rad
and radians*meter results in meters
rad • m = m
since, according to them, the radian is a dimensionless unit. This solves the problem of units for them and, as it has served them for a long time, they see no need to change it.

Very useful and helpful po, thankyouu Sir!❤️
Thank you po, Prof D! Watching from STEM 1107
Thank you po for this video lesson, Prof D. Watching from STEM 1107
Maraming salamat sir !!
It’s Maths time nmn always supporting ur channel po
Thank you po Prof D sa vids!
Beautiful explanation 🙏
Good day to you, Professor Jeffrey Del Mundo. Thank you for the video lesson.
Watching from STEM - 1107
In the formula
Acs = (1 / 2) • θ • r^2
the θ denotes the number of radians (it does not have the unit "rad").
Maraming salamat po💞
