Converting from Foot per second (fps) to Speed of sound in water (ssiw)

What is Foot per second (fps)

Foot per second (fps) is a unit of speed commonly used in the United States to measure velocity. It represents the distance traveled in feet per second.

What is Speed of sound in water (ssiw)

Speed of sound in water (ssiw) is the speed at which sound waves travel through water. It is an important factor in various underwater activities and scientific research.

Conversion Formulas

The default conversion factors are:

• 1 (fps) = 0.000205668 (ssiw)
• 1 (ssiw) = 4862.205 (fps)

Using these conversions, we can derive the formulas:

Examples

1. Converting 3 fps to ssiw:

   • Using the formula:
     ssiw=4862.2053​
   • Therefore, 3 fps is equal to 0.000617004 ssiw.

2. Converting 12 ssiw to fps:

   • Using the formula:
     fps=12∗4862.205
   • Therefore, 12 ssiw is equivalent to 58346.46 fps.
