Converting from Seconds per meter (s/m) to Speed of sound in water (ssiw)

What is Seconds per meter (s/m)

Seconds per meter (s/m) is a unit of measurement that expresses the time it takes for an object to travel one meter. This unit is primarily used in fields such as physics and engineering to describe speeds of various phenomena, like sound or movement within different media. Lower values in s/m indicate faster speeds, while higher values mean slower speeds.

What is Speed of sound in water (ssiw)

The speed of sound in water (ssiw) refers to how quickly sound waves travel through water. This speed is vital in acoustic studies and underwater navigation. It is generally around 1,484 meters per second at room temperature in pure water, but can vary depending on factors like temperature, salinity, and pressure.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Seconds per meter (s/m) to Speed of sound in water (ssiw), you can use the following formula:

Alternatively, to convert back from Speed of sound in water (ssiw) to Seconds per meter (s/m), the formula is:

Examples

1. If you have a speed of 1 s/m:

   ssiw=1×0.0006747638=0.0006747638ssiw

2. Converting 11 s/m:

   ssiw=11×0.0006747638=0.00006134217ssiw

3. For a speed of 4 s/m:

   ssiw=4×0.0006747638=0.000168691ssiw

4. Converting 5 s/m:

   ssiw=5×0.0006747638=0.0001349528ssiw

5. If the speed is at 1 s/m and needs to be converted back to s/m from ssiw:

   s/m=1ssiw×1488.116=1488.116s/m
