Converting from Speed of Sound in Water (ssiw) to Foot Per Second (fps)

What is Speed of Sound in Water (ssiw)

The speed of sound in water (ssiw) refers to how fast sound waves travel through water. This speed can vary depending on factors such as temperature, salinity, and pressure. Under standard conditions, the speed of sound in freshwater is approximately 1482 meters per second (m/s).

What is Foot Per Second (fps)

Foot per second (fps) is a unit of speed that expresses how many feet are traveled in one second. This unit is commonly used in the United States and other regions that prefer the Imperial system. One foot is equivalent to 0.3048 meters.

Conversion Formulas

To convert between speed of sound in water (ssiw) and foot per second (fps), you can use the following formulas:

• To convert from ssiw to fps:

  fps=ssiw×4862.205

• To convert from fps to ssiw:

  ssiw=fps×0.000205668

Examples

Here are some examples to illustrate the conversion between these two speed units:

1. Converting 1 ssiw to fps:

   fps=1(ssiw)×4862.205=4862.205fps

2. Converting 2 ssiw to fps:

   fps=2(ssiw)×4862.205=9724.409fps

3. Converting 9 ssiw to fps:

   fps=9(ssiw)×4862.205=43759.84fps

4. Converting 14 ssiw to fps:

   fps=14(ssiw)×4862.205=68070.87fps

5. Converting 1 fps to ssiw:

   ssiw=1(fps)×0.000205668=0.000205668ssiw

6. Converting 2 fps to ssiw:

   ssiw=2(fps)×0.000205668=0.000411336ssiw

7. Converting 9 fps to ssiw:

   ssiw=9(fps)×0.000205668=0.001851012ssiw

8. Converting 14 fps to ssiw:

   ssiw=14(fps)×0.000205668=0.002879352ssiw
