About Converting Millimeter per Minutes to Centimeter per Seconds
Millimeter per Minutes and Centimeter 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
centimeter per seconds = millimeter per minutes × 0.00166666666667
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 millimeter per minutes equals 0.0000166666666667 base units, and 1 centimeter per seconds equals 0.01 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct millimeter per minutes-to-centimeter per seconds factor of 0.00166666666667.
Simple example
1 mm/min × 0.001666666667 = 0.0016666667 cm/s
1 millimeter per minutes = 0.0016666667 centimeter per seconds.
Real-world example
10 mm/min × 0.001666666667 = 0.0166666667 cm/s
10 millimeter per minutes = 0.0166666667 centimeter per seconds.
