Mach (Si Standard)
The Mach number is a dimensionless unit representing the ratio of an object's speed to the speed of sound in the surrounding medium.
History/Origin
Named after the Austrian physicist Ernst Mach, the Mach number was introduced in the early 20th century to describe supersonic and hypersonic speeds, initially used in aerodynamics and fluid dynamics research.
Current Use
The Mach number is widely used in aeronautics and astronautics to specify aircraft and spacecraft speeds relative to the local speed of sound, especially in high-speed flight regimes.
Velocity Of Sound In Sea Water (20°c, 10 Meter Deep)
The velocity of sound in seawater at 20°C and 10 meters depth, approximately 1,480 meters per second.
History/Origin
The measurement of sound velocity in seawater has been essential for underwater acoustics, sonar technology, and marine research since the early 20th century, with values influenced by temperature, salinity, and pressure.
Current Use
Used in oceanography, submarine navigation, and acoustic communication to determine distance, map the seafloor, and study marine environments.
