Converting Seconds per Kilometer (s/km) to Speed of Sound in Water (ssiw)

What is Seconds per Kilometer (s/km)

Seconds per kilometer (s/km) is a unit of speed that measures the time taken to travel one kilometer. It is often used in sports and transportation contexts to express how fast one can move over a distance of 1 km. The smaller the number in s/km, the faster the speed.

What is Speed of Sound in Water (ssiw)

Speed of sound in water (ssiw) is a unit of speed that represents the speed at which sound waves travel through water. This speed varies depending on factors such as temperature, salinity, and pressure. Under typical conditions, sound travels through water much faster than through air, making it an important measurement in fields such as underwater acoustics and marine biology.

Conversion Formulas

To convert between seconds per kilometer (s/km) and speed of sound in water (ssiw), use the following conversion factor:

To convert a speed in s/km to ssiw, multiply by 0.6747638. To convert a speed in ssiw to s/km, multiply by 1.48047.

Examples

Here are some examples of conversions between these two units of speed:

• Example 1: Convert 8 s/km to ssiw.

  Using the formula:

  8 (s/km)×0.6747638=5.3981104 (ssiw)

• Example 2: Convert 5 s/km to ssiw.

  Using the formula:

  5 (s/km)×0.6747638=3.373819 (ssiw)

• Example 3: Convert 6 s/km to ssiw.

  Using the formula:

  6 (s/km)×0.6747638=4.048581 (ssiw)

• Example 4: Convert 5 ssiw to s/km.

  Using the formula:

  5 (ssiw)×1.48047=7.40235 (s/km)

• Example 5: Convert 6 ssiw to s/km.

  Using the formula:

  6 (ssiw)×1.48047=8.88282 (s/km)
