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/hour
Centimeter per hour (cm/h) is a unit of speed that measures the distance in centimeters traveled or covered in one hour.
History/Origin
The centimeter per hour has been used primarily in scientific and industrial contexts to measure slow rates of movement or growth, especially in fields like biology and material science. Its usage became more standardized with the adoption of the metric system in the 19th century.
Current Use
Today, cm/h is used in applications such as measuring the rate of biological growth, sedimentation, or the movement of fluids and materials in scientific research and engineering.
