Convert millimeter/hour to foot/second
Please provide values below to convert millimeter/hour [mm/h] to foot/second [ft/s], or Convert foot/second to millimeter/hour.
1 mm/h = 9.1134441601e-07 ft/s. To convert millimeter/hour to foot/second, multiply the value by 9.1134441601e-07; to go the other way, divide by it (1 ft/s = 1097279.99912 mm/h). Both units measure speed and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Millimeter/hour
Millimeter per hour (mm/h) is a unit of measurement that indicates the rate of rainfall or precipitation, representing how many millimeters of water fall in one hour.
History/Origin
The millimeter per hour has been used in meteorology and hydrology to quantify rainfall intensity, especially with the advent of precise rain gauges and weather measurement tools in the 20th century.
Current Use
Today, mm/h is commonly used in weather forecasting, climate studies, and hydrological assessments to measure and communicate the intensity of rainfall events.
Foot/second
Foot per second (ft/s) is a unit of speed representing the distance of one foot traveled in one second.
History/Origin
The foot per second has been used historically in engineering, physics, and aeronautics, originating from the imperial measurement system where the foot is a standard unit of length. Its usage predates the metric system and has been common in the United States and other countries using imperial units.
Current Use
Today, ft/s is primarily used in fields such as physics, engineering, and aviation to measure speeds, especially in contexts where imperial units are standard. It is also used in sports and safety standards related to speed measurements.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 millimeter/hour in foot/second?
1 millimeter/hour (mm/h) = 9.1134441601e-07 foot/second (ft/s).
How do you convert millimeter/hour to foot/second?
Multiply the millimeter/hour value by 9.1134441601e-07. For example, 25 mm/h × 9.1134441601e-07 = 2.27836104003e-05 ft/s.
