Converting from Mile per Hour (mph) to Speed of Sound in Water (ssiw)

What is Mile per Hour (mph)

Mile per hour (mph) is a unit of speed commonly used in the United States and other countries that follows the imperial system of measurement. It measures the distance traveled in miles per hour.

What is Speed of Sound in Water (ssiw)

The Speed of Sound in Water (ssiw) is the speed at which sound waves travel through water. It is influenced by various factors such as temperature, pressure, and salinity of the water. The speed of sound in water is significantly faster than in air due to the higher density of water compared to air.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between Mile per hour (mph) and Speed of Sound in Water (ssiw) can be done using the following formulas:

• To convert from mph to ssiw:
  ssiw=mph×0.0003016464
• To convert from ssiw to mph:
  mph=ssiw×3315.14

Examples

1. Converting 4 mph to ssiw:

   • Using the conversion formula:
     ssiw=4×0.0003016464=0.001206586
   • Therefore, 4 mph is equal to 0.001206586 ssiw.

2. Converting 12 ssiw to mph:

   • Applying the conversion formula:
     mph=12×3315.14=39781.68
   • Hence, 12 ssiw corresponds to 39781.68 mph.

3. Converting 8 mph to ssiw:

   • Using the formula:
     ssiw=8×0.0003016464=0.002413171
   • Thus, 8 mph converts to 0.002413171 ssiw.

In summary, these conversion formulas can be used to interchange between the speed measurements of Mile per Hour (mph) and Speed of Sound in Water (ssiw). The calculated values facilitate understanding and comparison between the two speeds.
