The conversion of 100 Hz to RPM results in 6000 RPM.
To convert Hz (hertz) to RPM (revolutions per minute), multiply the frequency in Hz by 60, because one Hz equals one cycle per second, and there are 60 seconds in a minute. So, 100 Hz equals 100 times 60, which is 6000 RPM, indicating how many times an object completes a full rotation each minute at that frequency.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert Hz to RPM is RPM = Hz × 60. This works because Hz measures cycles per second, and there are 60 seconds in a minute. To get RPM, you multiply the Hz value by 60. For example, 100 Hz times 60 equals 6000 RPM, meaning 100 cycles each second equals 6000 rotations per minute.
Conversion Example
- Convert 50 Hz to RPM:
- Multiply 50 by 60: 50 × 60 = 3000
- Result: 3000 RPM
- Convert 75 Hz to RPM:
- Multiply 75 by 60: 75 × 60 = 4500
- Result: 4500 RPM
- Convert 120 Hz to RPM:
- Multiply 120 by 60: 120 × 60 = 7200
- Result: 7200 RPM
- Convert 10 Hz to RPM:
- Multiply 10 by 60: 10 × 60 = 600
- Result: 600 RPM
- Convert 200 Hz to RPM:
- Multiply 200 by 60: 200 × 60 = 12000
- Result: 12000 RPM

Conversion Definitions
Hz (hertz): A unit measuring how many cycles or oscillations occur in one second; it indicates frequency, especially in waves, signals, and rotations.
RPM (revolutions per minute): A measure of how many complete turns or rotations an object makes in one minute; used to describe rotational speed of machinery and engines.
Conversion FAQs
Why multiply Hz by 60 to get RPM?
Because Hz measures cycles per second, and there are 60 seconds in a minute, multiplying Hz by 60 converts the frequency from cycles per second to cycles per minute, giving RPM.
Can I convert any frequency in Hz to RPM?
Yes, as long as the frequency represents rotational cycles, multiplying the Hz value by 60 will give the RPM. For non-rotational signals, the conversion may not make sense.
Is 100 Hz always equal to 6000 RPM?
Only if the frequency directly correlates to rotation rate, meaning each cycle represents one revolution. In most mechanical contexts, 100 Hz does equal 6000 RPM, but check the specific system to be sure.
What happens if the Hz value is fractional?
The conversion still applies; multiply the fractional Hz value by 60 to get RPM, resulting in a fractional RPM if necessary, which can be rounded as needed for practical purposes.
Does this conversion work for non-rotational frequencies?
No, the formula applies only when the Hz measure relates to rotations or cycles per second; for other types of frequency, different conversions are needed.
