About these units
Millimeter/Minute (mm/min)
A millimeter per minute is a slow mechanical speed often encountered in CNC machining, automated laboratory equipment, and controlled industrial processes. In medicine, infusion pumps, surgical robotics, and controlled incisions may specify movement in mm/min to maintain safety and precision. By using millimeters instead of centimeters or meters, the unit ensures fine control in delicate operations where even small deviations matter.
Speed of Sound in Pure Water (vₕ₂ₒ)
The speed of sound in pure water is approximately 1,480 m/s at room temperature, though it varies with temperature and pressure. Sound travels faster in water than in air because water molecules are more tightly packed, allowing vibrations to propagate more efficiently. This speed is critical for sonar systems, underwater communication, acoustic research, and marine biology. Whales, dolphins, and submarines all rely on sound propagation through water, where visibility is extremely limited. Understanding vₕ₂ₒ allows accurate modeling of ocean acoustics, ranging from climate studies to naval operations.
