914.4m/s
That's 1.83× as fast as loose soil, while water is 1.64× faster. A reflector one kilometer down would return in about 2,187 ms.
Convert the other way: m/s to ft/s
What it means
How fast does sound travel?
Rock velocity rises with depth, compaction and cementation, so a single figure describes one interval rather than a whole well.
The math
How to convert ft/s to m/s
To convert feet per second to meters per second, multiply by 0.3048.
Example: 3,000 ft/s × 0.3048 = 914.4 m/s.
In the other direction, 1 m/s = 3.28084 ft/s.
