About Converting Centimeter per Minutes to Millimeter per Seconds
Centimeter per Minutes and Millimeter per Seconds both describe speed, and the conversion matters whenever a maritime or aviation speed (knots) needs to be compared against a road speed (mph). Both are distance divided by time units.
Formula
millimeter per seconds = centimeter per minutes × 0.166666666667
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 centimeter per minutes equals 0.000166666666667 base units, and 1 millimeter per seconds equals 0.001 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct centimeter per minutes-to-millimeter per seconds factor of 0.166666666667.
Simple example
1 cm/min × 0.1666666667 = 0.1666666667 mm/s
1 centimeter per minutes = 0.1666666667 millimeter per seconds.
Real-world example
10 cm/min × 0.1666666667 = 1.666666667 mm/s
10 centimeter per minutes = 1.666666667 millimeter per seconds.
