Swing Speed Conversion - 2.24 is the majic number

[Blader-X]

Need to quickly convert from mph to m/s or vice versa and don't feel like doing all the math? Here's your factor. 2.24 Just about all JDM equipment is listed in m/s or meters per second when it comes to swing speed. For those who need to convert that to mph or miles per hour here's an easy conversion. This may have been covered in another post but when I did the search I couldn't easily locate it so I decided to add this specific post.

M/S (meters per second) X 2.24 = MPH (miles per hour)

Converting from m/s to mph multiply your m/s value by the factor of 2.24

--Example: A swing speed of 48 m/s would correlate to 107.5 mph (48 X 2.24 = 107.52)

-or-

MPH (miles per hour) divided by 2.24 = M/S (meters per second)

Converting from mph to m/s take your mph value and divide by the factor of 2.24.

--Example: A swing speed of 97 mph would correlate to 43.3 m/s. (97/2.24 = 43.30)

For those of you who want more decimal places the factor becomes 2.2369361. I rounded to 2.24 for ease of use.
