Speed of sound at 0 degrees Celsius

The speed of sound in air is $331.30\ \text{m/s}$ at 0 degrees Celsius.

Speed of sound in fresh water at 20 degrees Celsius

The speed of sound in fresh water is $1\ 481\ \text{m/s}$ at 20 degrees Celsius which is sligltly more than $4.3$ times the speed of sound in air at 20 degrees Celsius.

How to convert Speed of sound at 0 degrees Celsius to Speed of sound in fresh water at 20 degrees Celsius

$$\text{Speed}_{\text{Speed of sound₂₀ (fresh water)}} = \text{Speed}_{\text{Speed of sound₀}} \cdot 0.2237002025658338960162052667116813$$

Examples

Example 1

Convert $35.0\ \text{Speed of sound₀}$ to $\text{Speed of sound₂₀ (fresh water)}$.

$$\text{Speed}_{\text{Speed of sound₂₀ (fresh water)}} = 35.0 \cdot 0.2237002025658338960162052667116813$$

$$\text{Speed}_{\text{Speed of sound₂₀ (fresh water)}} = 7.829507$$

$$\therefore \ 35.0\ \text{Speed of sound₀} = 7.829507 \ \text{Speed of sound₂₀ (fresh water)}$$

Example 2

Convert $70.0\ \text{Speed of sound₀}$ to $\text{Speed of sound₂₀ (fresh water)}$.

$$\text{Speed}_{\text{Speed of sound₂₀ (fresh water)}} = 70.0 \cdot 0.2237002025658338960162052667116813$$

$$\text{Speed}_{\text{Speed of sound₂₀ (fresh water)}} = 15.659014$$

$$\therefore \ 70.0\ \text{Speed of sound₀} = 15.659014 \ \text{Speed of sound₂₀ (fresh water)}$$

Example 3

Convert $120.0\ \text{Speed of sound₀}$ to $\text{Speed of sound₂₀ (fresh water)}$.

$$\text{Speed}_{\text{Speed of sound₂₀ (fresh water)}} = 120.0 \cdot 0.2237002025658338960162052667116813$$

$$\text{Speed}_{\text{Speed of sound₂₀ (fresh water)}} = 26.844024$$

$$\therefore \ 120.0\ \text{Speed of sound₀} = 26.844024 \ \text{Speed of sound₂₀ (fresh water)}$$

Example 4

Convert $140.0\ \text{Speed of sound₀}$ to $\text{Speed of sound₂₀ (fresh water)}$.

$$\text{Speed}_{\text{Speed of sound₂₀ (fresh water)}} = 140.0 \cdot 0.2237002025658338960162052667116813$$

$$\text{Speed}_{\text{Speed of sound₂₀ (fresh water)}} = 31.318028$$

$$\therefore \ 140.0\ \text{Speed of sound₀} = 31.318028 \ \text{Speed of sound₂₀ (fresh water)}$$

Example 5

Convert $160.0\ \text{Speed of sound₀}$ to $\text{Speed of sound₂₀ (fresh water)}$.

$$\text{Speed}_{\text{Speed of sound₂₀ (fresh water)}} = 160.0 \cdot 0.2237002025658338960162052667116813$$

$$\text{Speed}_{\text{Speed of sound₂₀ (fresh water)}} = 35.792032$$

$$\therefore \ 160.0\ \text{Speed of sound₀} = 35.792032 \ \text{Speed of sound₂₀ (fresh water)}$$
