millihertz [mHz] to rotation per minute [rpm] Converter
How to Convert millihertz to rotation per minute
1 mHz = 0.060000000000000005 rpm
1 rpm = 16.666666666666668 mHz
Example: convert 10 mHz to rpm:
10 mHz = 10 x 0.060000000000000005 = 0.6000000000000001 rpm
millihertz
Definition: A millihertz (mHz) is a unit of frequency equal to one thousandth (1/1000) of a hertz (Hz). The hertz, in turn, is the SI unit of frequency, defined as one cycle per second.
History/origin: The millihertz is derived from the hertz, named after the German physicist Heinrich Hertz, who made significant contributions to the understanding of electromagnetic waves. The prefix 'milli-' denotes a factor of 10<sup>-3</sup>, adhering to the SI system of units.
Current use: Millihertz is used to measure very low frequencies, often encountered in fields like geophysics (e.g., measuring seismic waves), biology (e.g., measuring slow biological rhythms), and some areas of electronics and signal processing where extremely slow oscillations or events are analyzed.
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.
