About Revolutions per Minute (rpm)
Revolutions per minute measures rotational speed and is ubiquitous in mechanical engineering. Car engines idle at 600-1,000 RPM and redline at 6,000-9,000 RPM, hard disk drives spin at 5,400 or 7,200 RPM, and washing machine spin cycles reach 800-1,600 RPM.
About Hertz (Hz)
The SI unit of frequency, one hertz equals one cycle per second. Named after Heinrich Hertz, who first proved the existence of electromagnetic waves, the hertz measures everything from sound pitch (human hearing spans 20 Hz to 20 kHz) to electrical grid frequency (50 Hz in Europe, 60 Hz in the US).
