Converting from Mach number ((M)*) to Speed of sound in water (ssiw)

What is Mach number ((M)*)

Mach number ((M)*) is a dimensionless quantity representing the ratio of the speed of an object to the speed of sound in the medium through which the object is moving.

What is Speed of sound in water (ssiw)

Speed of sound in water (ssiw) is the speed at which sound waves propagate through water. It is an important parameter in various underwater acoustics applications.

Conversion Formulas

Two units in the 'Speed' category, Mach number ((M)*) and Speed of sound in water (ssiw), can be converted using the following formulas:
