Are the Pearson and Spearman rank correlation coefficients related in a specific way for uniform RVs?

Are the Pearson and Spearman rank correlation coefficients related in a specific way for uniform random variables? Specifically, is the relationship $\rho_{spearman} = 2*\sin(\frac{\pi}{6}\rho_{pearson})$? If so, why?
