Converting from Speed of Sound in Water (ssiw) to Meter per Second (m/s)

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 varies depending on factors such as temperature, salinity, and pressure, but under normal conditions, it averages around 1482 meters per second (m/s).

What is Meter per Second (m/s)

Meter per second (m/s) is the standard unit of speed in the International System of Units (SI). It indicates how many meters are traveled in one second. This unit is widely used in various fields, including physics, engineering, and everyday life, to measure speeds of objects or engage in motion.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from speed of sound in water (ssiw) to meters per second (m/s), you can use the following formulas:

Examples

Here are some practical examples of the conversion between ssiw and m/s:

1. Converting 13 ssiw to m/s:

   Speed in m/s=13×1482=19266 m/s

2. Converting 17 ssiw to m/s:

   Speed in m/s=17×1482=25194 m/s

3. Converting 11 ssiw to m/s:

   Speed in m/s=11×1482=16302 m/s

For converting from m/s back to ssiw:

1. Converting 13 m/s to ssiw:

   Speed in ssiw=13×0.00877193=0.1140 ssiw

2. Converting 17 m/s to ssiw:

   Speed in ssiw=17×0.01147099=0.1950 ssiw

3. Converting 11 m/s to ssiw:

   Speed in ssiw=11×0.007422402=0.0816 ssiw
