Converting from Foot per second (fps) to Speed of sound in steel (ssis)

What is Foot per second (fps)

Foot per second (fps) is a unit of speed commonly used in the United States and other countries that employ the imperial system. It measures the distance in feet that an object travels in one second. This unit is often used in various fields such as engineering, sports, and aviation.

What is Speed of sound in steel (ssis)

Speed of sound in steel (ssis) refers to the speed at which sound waves propagate through steel. This speed can vary based on factors such as temperature and the specific type of steel, but a typical value for the speed of sound in steel is approximately 5,960 meters per second. This measurement is crucial in fields like materials science and engineering, as it helps to determine how sound behaves in different materials.

Conversion Formulas

To convert speeds between these two units, we can use the following conversion formulas:

• From Foot per second (fps) to Speed of sound in steel (ssis):

  ssis=fps×0.00005114094

• From Speed of sound in steel (ssis) to Foot per second (fps):

  fps=ssis×19553.81

Examples

Here are some examples of conversions to further illustrate how to use these formulas:

1. Converting 2 fps to ssis:

   2 fps=2×0.00005114094≈0.0001022819 ssis

2. Converting 15 fps to ssis:

   15 fps=15×0.00005114094≈0.0007671141 ssis

3. Converting 13 fps to ssis:

   13 fps=13×0.00005114094≈0.0006648322 ssis

4. Converting 2 ssis to fps:

   2 ssis=2×19553.81≈39107.61 fps

5. Converting 15 ssis to fps:

   15 ssis=15×19553.81≈293307.1 fps

6. Converting 13 ssis to fps:

   13 ssis=13×19553.81≈254199.5 fps
