Convert foot/hour to centimeter/second
Please provide values below to convert foot/hour [ft/h] to centimeter/second [cm/s], or Convert centimeter/second to foot/hour.
1 ft/h = 0.00846667 cm/s. To convert foot/hour to centimeter/second, multiply the value by 0.00846667; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cm/s = 118.11018972 ft/h). Both units measure speed and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 ft/h = 0.00846667 cm/s
- 1 cm/s = 118.11018972 ft/h
- 10 ft/h = 0.0846667 cm/s
- 100 ft/h = 0.846667 cm/s
How to Convert Foot/hour to Centimeter/second
1 ft/h = 0.00846667 cm/s
Example: convert 15 ft/h to cm/s:
15 ft/h = 15 × 0.00846667 cm/s = 0.12700005 cm/s

Foot/hour
Foot per hour (ft/h) is a unit of speed representing the distance of one foot traveled in one hour.
History/Origin
The foot per hour has historically been used in engineering and construction to measure slow speeds, especially in contexts where imperial units are standard. Its usage has declined with the adoption of metric units and more common speed measurements like meters per second or miles per hour.
Current Use
Today, foot per hour is rarely used in practical applications but may still appear in specialized fields such as certain engineering, construction, or scientific contexts where imperial units are maintained.
Centimeter/second
A unit of speed representing the distance of one centimeter traveled in one second.
History/Origin
The centimeter per second has been used in scientific and engineering contexts where metric units are standard, especially before the widespread adoption of SI units. It is a derived unit based on the centimeter and second, both of which have historical roots in the metric system developed in France during the late 18th century.
Current Use
The centimeter per second is primarily used in scientific research, fluid dynamics, and engineering applications where small-scale speed measurements are required. It is also used in certain fields like biology and physics for precise velocity measurements.
