Speed of sound in air (ssia) to Mach number ((M)*) converter

Converting from Speed of Sound in Air (ssia) to Mach Number ((M)*)

What is Speed of Sound in Air (ssia)

The Speed of Sound in Air (ssia) refers to the speed at which sound waves propagate through the air. In dry air at 20 degrees Celsius, the speed of sound is approximately 343 meters per second.

What is Mach Number ((M)*)

The Mach number ((M)*) is a dimensionless quantity that represents the ratio of the speed of an object to the speed of sound in the medium through which the object is traveling. When an object travels at the speed of sound, its Mach number is 1.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Speed of Sound in Air (ssia) to Mach Number ((M)*), you can use the following formulas:

Mach number ((M)*)=343Speed of Sound in Air (ssia)​
Speed of Sound in Air (ssia)=343∗Mach number ((M)*)

Examples

  1. Converting 600 m/s to Mach number:

    • Mach number = 343600​≈1.751
    • Therefore, 600 m/s is approximately equivalent to Mach 1.751.

  2. Converting 0.8 km/s to Mach number:

    • Speed of sound in air = 0.8∗1000=800 m/s
    • Mach number = 343800​≈2.331
    • Therefore, 0.8 km/s is approximately equivalent to Mach 2.331.

  3. Converting 450 m/s to Mach number:

    • Mach number = 343450​≈1.313
    • Therefore, 450 m/s is approximately equivalent to Mach 1.313.

  4. Converting 1.5 km/s to Mach number:

    • Speed of sound in air = 1.5∗1000=1500 m/s
    • Mach number = 3431500​≈4.380
    • Therefore, 1.5 km/s is approximately equivalent to Mach 4.380.

By using this page, you can easily perform conversions between Speed of Sound in Air (ssia) and Mach Number ((M)*). Remember that the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s at 20 degrees Celsius.
