2700rpm is 2700*300π mm/min=2700*5π mm/s, because I revolution = πd (d=diameter) the circumference of the pulley. 2700 rpm is 2700*360=972000 degrees per min = 16200 degrees/sec; or since 360 degrees = 2π radians, this is 5400 radians per minute or 90 radians per sec. The linear speed is 2700*5π mm/s=13500π mm/s=42411.5mm/s or 42.4115 m/s.
