Converting from Mach Number ((M)*) to Seconds per Meter (s/m) in Speed

What is Mach number ((M)*)

Mach number ((M)*) is a dimensionless quantity that represents the speed of an object in a fluid medium, typically in relation to the speed of sound in that medium. For example, Mach 1 indicates the object is traveling at the speed of sound in the medium.

What is Seconds per Meter (s/m)

Seconds per meter (s/m) is a unit used to measure the rate at which a wave propagates through a medium for a given distance. It is commonly used in acoustics to measure the speed of sound and in the characterization of acoustic materials.

Conversion Formulas

The default conversion between Mach number and seconds per meter is:

• 1 ((M)*) = 0.00293867 (s/m)
• 1 (s/m) = 0.00293867 ((M)*)

Other conversion examples include:

• 16 ((M)*) = 0.0001836669 (s/m)
• 16 (s/m) = 0.0001836669 ((M)*)
• 17 ((M)*) = 0.0001728629 (s/m)
• 17 (s/m) = 0.0001728629 ((M)*)
• 8 ((M)*) = 0.0003673337 (s/m)
• 8 (s/m) = 0.0003673337 ((M)*)

1((M)∗)=0.00293867(s/m)

Examples

To convert 10 ((M)*) to seconds per meter:

10((M)∗)×0.00293867=0.0293867(s/m)

Conversely, to convert 0.015 (s/m) to Mach number:

0.015(s/m)×340.29=5.10735((M)∗)
