Converting Speed of Sound in Air (ssia) to Foot per Minute (fpm)

What is Speed of Sound in Air (ssia)

Speed of sound in air (ssia) is the distance that sound waves travel in the air per unit of time. Under normal temperature and pressure conditions, the speed of sound is approximately 343 meters per second (m/s) or 1235 kilometers per hour (km/h). In specific contexts such as aviation and meteorology, ssia is an important measurement for understanding how quickly sound can travel through the atmosphere.

What is Foot per Minute (fpm)

Foot per minute (fpm) is a unit of speed expressing the distance traveled in feet over the course of one minute. This unit is often used in various industries, such as aviation, mechanical engineering, and manufacturing, where measuring speed in feet per minute provides a clearer picture for specific applications.

Conversion Formulas

To convert between speed of sound in air (ssia) and foot per minute (fpm), we use the following formulas:

1. From ssia to fpm:

   fpm=ssia×66986.22

2. From fpm to ssia:

   ssia=fpm×0.00001492844

Examples

1. Converting 14 ssia to fpm:

   fpm=14×66986.22=937807.1

2. Converting 10 ssia to fpm:

   fpm=10×66986.22=669862.2

3. Converting 9 ssia to fpm:

   fpm=9×66986.22=602876

4. Converting 14 fpm to ssia:

   ssia=14×0.00001492844=0.0002089982

5. Converting 10 fpm to ssia:

   ssia=10×0.0001492844=0.0001492844

6. Converting 9 fpm to ssia:

   ssia=9×0.000134356=0.000134356
