Converting from Mile per second (mps) to Speed of sound in water (ssiw)

What is Mile per second (mps)

Mile per second (mps) is a unit of speed that denotes the distance covered in miles in one second. It is part of the imperial system and is often used in regions that primarily use mile-based measurements. This unit is primarily applicable to measuring high-speed motion, such as vehicles or projectiles.

What is Speed of sound in water (ssiw)

Speed of sound in water (ssiw) refers to the speed at which sound waves travel through water. The speed can vary depending on factors such as temperature, density, and salinity of the water. In general, the speed of sound in pure water at room temperature is about 1,484 meters per second. The unit is crucial in various fields, including marine biology, oceanography, and underwater acoustics.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from miles per second to speed of sound in water, the following formulas can be used:

• From mps to ssiw:

  ssiw=mps×1.085927

• From ssiw to mps:

  mps=ssiw×0.9208721

Examples

1. Converting 4 mps to ssiw:

   ssiw=4mps×1.085927=4.343709ssiw

2. Converting 12 mps to ssiw:

   ssiw=12mps×1.085927=13.03113ssiw

3. Converting 17 mps to ssiw:

   ssiw=17mps×1.085927=18.46076ssiw

4. Converting 4 ssiw to mps:

   mps=4ssiw×0.9208721=3.683488mps

5. Converting 12 ssiw to mps:

   mps=12ssiw×0.9208721=11.05047mps

6. Converting 17 ssiw to mps:

   mps=17ssiw×0.9208721=15.65483mps
