Mathematical Conversion Derivation via Coherent SI Base Unit

Under the International System of Quantities (ISQ), dimensional conversion between non-SI units is rigorously resolved by bridging through the coherent SI base unit (meter per second (m/s)) without arbitrary rounding:

V_{\text{target}} = V_{\text{source}} \times \left( \frac{k_{\text{source} \to \text{SI}}}{k_{\text{target} \to \text{SI}}} \right)

Universal Dimensional Conversion Law (ISO 80000 / NIST SP 811)

1. Source SI Bridge (k_source):1 vs (sea) = 1522.000517 meter per second (m/s)

2. Target SI Bridge (k_target):1 km/s = 1000 meter per second (m/s)

Step-by-step substitution for Velocity of sound in sea water → Kilometer/second:V(km/s) = V(vs (sea)) × ( 1522.000517 / 1000 ) = V(vs (sea)) × 1.522001

Mathematical FormulaValue in Kilometer/second = Value in Velocity of sound in sea water × 1.52200052Direct computational formula applied for standard conversion.

Worked Example

For an engineering input of 75 vs (sea), applying the conversion factor yields exactly 114.150039 km/s. At larger operational scale, 240 Velocity of sound in sea water corresponds to 365.280124 km/s.

Inverse check: 1 km/s = 0.65703 vs (sea).
