Calculation process of conversion value

1 speed of sound = `(342.603648550333) / (1.4)` = 244.71689182167 walking speed
1 walking speed = `(1.4) / (342.603648550333)` = 0.0040863546139215 speed of sound
? speed of sound × `(342.603648550333 ("m/s"/"speed of sound")) / (1.4 ("m/s"/"walking speed"))` = ? walking speed

High precision conversion

If conversion between speed of sound to metre-per-second and metre-per-second to walking speed is exactly definied, high precision conversion from speed of sound to walking speed is enabled.

Since definition contain rounded number(s) too, there is no sense for high precision calculation, but if you want, you can enable it. Keep in mind, that converted number will be inaccurate due this rounding error!

Details about speed of sound and walking speed units:

Convert Speed of sound to other unit:

speed of sound

Definition of speed of sound unit: ≡ (1.4 x 286 x (20+273.15) )^-2. Speed of sound in the air. But this speed varies between 295-340 m/s depending on the air temperature and pressure. From the NASA formula I calculated the speed on sea level at 20°C.

Convert Walking speed to other unit:

walking speed

Definition of walking speed unit: ≈ 1.4 m/s. With average walking speed, you walk around 5 km in 1 hour. In more than one literature, the 1.4 m/s speeds are used in calculations. The link presented in the source has calculated this average walking speed from the average of 3 additional literature.
