Question

If velocity of sound through wood at zero degrees Celsius is `1454` meters per second, how much is the velocity in miles per hour?

Answer 1

Velocity of sound through wood at zero degrees Celsius

is `3252.51` miles per hour

Explanation:

There are `1760` yards in a mile and each yard is equa to `0.9144` meters and hence we have

`1760xx0.9144=1609.344` meters in a mile.

Further, we have `3600` seconds in an hour.

Now, in `1` second, sound travels through wood at zero degrees Celsius for `1454` meters.

Hence in `3600` second it will travel `1454xx3600` meters

or `(1454xx3600)/1609.344=3252.5054` miles

Hence desired speed is `3252.51` miles per hour.
