I assume you mean measure the frequency of vibration of a mechanical system or part. You use a stroboscope, which is a light that flashes briefly and rapidly. You shine the light on the object and adjust the frequency of the strobe by turning a dial until the object stops moving. You then read the dial to determine the frequency. there are steps you have to take to avoid synchronizing to a subharmonic of the base frequency. For example, if the object is vibrating at 100Hz (10ms), running the strobe at 50hz will also stop the motion, as it will pick up every other cycle.

What quantity is hertz used to measure?

One would measure hertz by using an analog ammeter. Hertz can be measure in kilohertz. Hertz is the unit used to measure frequency. Any instrument that measures frequency can be used to measure hertz. 1 hertz is 1 cycle per second. By radio frequency.
