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 Pure Water
The velocity of sound in pure water is the speed at which sound waves propagate through water under ideal, pure conditions, typically measured in meters per second (m/s).
History/Origin
The measurement of sound velocity in water has been studied since the 19th century, with early experiments by physicists like Lord Rayleigh, contributing to the understanding of acoustic properties of water and its dependence on temperature, pressure, and salinity.
Current Use
The velocity of sound in water is used in underwater acoustics, sonar technology, oceanography, and environmental monitoring to determine water properties, map underwater features, and facilitate communication and navigation.
