Foot/hour
Foot per hour (ft/h) is a unit of speed representing the distance of one foot traveled in one hour.
History/Origin
The foot per hour has historically been used in engineering and construction to measure slow speeds, especially in contexts where imperial units are standard. Its usage has declined with the adoption of metric units and more common speed measurements like meters per second or miles per hour.
Current Use
Today, foot per hour is rarely used in practical applications but may still appear in specialized fields such as certain engineering, construction, or scientific contexts where imperial units are maintained.
Millimeter/hour
Millimeter per hour (mm/h) is a unit of measurement that indicates the rate of rainfall or precipitation, representing how many millimeters of water fall in one hour.
History/Origin
The millimeter per hour has been used in meteorology and hydrology to quantify rainfall intensity, especially with the advent of precise rain gauges and weather measurement tools in the 20th century.
Current Use
Today, mm/h is commonly used in weather forecasting, climate studies, and hydrological assessments to measure and communicate the intensity of rainfall events.
