Converting Speed of Sound in Water (ssiw) to Minutes per Meter (min/m) | Speed

What is Speed of Sound in Water (ssiw)

Speed of sound in water (ssiw) refers to the velocity at which sound waves travel through water. It is an important factor in underwater acoustics, affecting communication and navigation in aquatic environments. The speed of sound in water is approximately 1482 meters per second, which is much faster than in air due to water's higher density.

What is Minutes per Meter (min/m)

Minutes per meter (min/m) is a unit used to measure the time taken for a sound wave to travel one meter in a medium. It is the reciprocal of speed and is commonly used in underwater acoustics to describe the time it takes for sound signals to propagate through water.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Speed of sound in water (ssiw) to Minutes per meter (min/m), you can use the following formulas:

• To convert ssiw to min/m:
  min/m=ssiw×0.00001124606
• To convert min/m to ssiw:
  ssiw=min/m×0.00001124606

Examples

• Converting 10 ssiw to min/m:

  10ssiw=10×0.00001124606=0.000001124606min/m

• Converting 6 min/m to ssiw:

  6min/m=6×0.00001124606=0.00006747636ssiw

• Converting 7 ssiw to min/m:

  7ssiw=7×0.00001124606=0.00007872242min/m
