Knot
A knot is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour, commonly used in maritime and aviation contexts.
History/Origin
The knot originated from the practice of measuring a ship's speed using a device called a chip log, which involved counting the number of knots that passed through a sailor's hands over a specific time interval. It became standardized as a unit of speed in maritime navigation.
Current Use
Today, the knot is primarily used in maritime and aviation industries to express the speed of ships and aircraft, providing a consistent measurement across international waters and airspace.
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.
