Unit definitions
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.
Meter per second
Meter per second is the standard unit of speed in the International System of Units (SI). It is also known as metre per second (UK).
How to convert Speed of sound in fresh water at 20 degrees Celsius to Meter per second
$$\text{Speed}_{\text{ms⁻¹}} = \text{Speed}_{\text{Speed of sound₂₀ (fresh water)}} \cdot 1481$$
Examples
Example 1
Convert $45.0\ \text{Speed of sound₂₀ (fresh water)}$ to $\text{ms⁻¹}$.
$$\text{Speed}_{\text{ms⁻¹}} = 45.0 \cdot 1481$$
$$\text{Speed}_{\text{ms⁻¹}} = 66645$$
$$\therefore \ 45.0\ \text{Speed of sound₂₀ (fresh water)} = 66645 \ \text{ms⁻¹}$$
Example 2
Convert $80.0\ \text{Speed of sound₂₀ (fresh water)}$ to $\text{ms⁻¹}$.
$$\text{Speed}_{\text{ms⁻¹}} = 80.0 \cdot 1481$$
$$\text{Speed}_{\text{ms⁻¹}} = 118480$$
$$\therefore \ 80.0\ \text{Speed of sound₂₀ (fresh water)} = 118480 \ \text{ms⁻¹}$$
Example 3
Convert $120.0\ \text{Speed of sound₂₀ (fresh water)}$ to $\text{ms⁻¹}$.
$$\text{Speed}_{\text{ms⁻¹}} = 120.0 \cdot 1481$$
$$\text{Speed}_{\text{ms⁻¹}} = 177720$$
$$\therefore \ 120.0\ \text{Speed of sound₂₀ (fresh water)} = 177720 \ \text{ms⁻¹}$$
Example 4
Convert $140.0\ \text{Speed of sound₂₀ (fresh water)}$ to $\text{ms⁻¹}$.
$$\text{Speed}_{\text{ms⁻¹}} = 140.0 \cdot 1481$$
$$\text{Speed}_{\text{ms⁻¹}} = 207340$$
$$\therefore \ 140.0\ \text{Speed of sound₂₀ (fresh water)} = 207340 \ \text{ms⁻¹}$$
Example 5
Convert $165.0\ \text{Speed of sound₂₀ (fresh water)}$ to $\text{ms⁻¹}$.
$$\text{Speed}_{\text{ms⁻¹}} = 165.0 \cdot 1481$$
$$\text{Speed}_{\text{ms⁻¹}} = 244365$$
$$\therefore \ 165.0\ \text{Speed of sound₂₀ (fresh water)} = 244365 \ \text{ms⁻¹}$$
