How to Convert hertz to rotation per minuterotation per minute
1 Hz = 60 rpm
1 rpm = 0.016666666666666666 Hz
Example: convert 42 Hz to rpm:
42 Hz = 42 x 60 = 2520 rpm
hertz
Definition: Hertz (symbol: Hz) is the SI unit of frequency, defined as the number of cycles per second of a periodic phenomenon. One hertz is equivalent to one cycle or event per second.
History/origin: The hertz is named after Heinrich Hertz, a German physicist who proved the existence of electromagnetic waves in the late 19th century. The unit was adopted as a standard unit for frequency in the 20th century.
Current use: Hertz is widely used across various fields to measure frequency, including radio waves, audio signals, computer processing speeds, alternating current (AC) electricity, and any oscillating or repeating phenomenon. It's a fundamental unit in physics, engineering, and technology.
rotation per minute
Definition: Rotations per minute (rpm) is a unit of angular speed or rotational frequency. It specifies the number of complete rotations or revolutions completed in one minute.
History/origin: The concept of measuring rotational speed has been around for centuries, particularly in mechanical engineering. The specific term 'rotations per minute' became standardized with the development of machinery and engines.
Current use: RPM is commonly used to measure the speed of rotating machinery, such as engines, motors, turbines, and spinning disks (e.g., hard drives). It is a vital parameter in mechanical engineering, automotive engineering, and various industrial applications for controlling and monitoring rotational speeds.
