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.
Millimeter/hour
Millimeter per hour (mm/h) is a unit of measurement that indicates the rate of rainfall or precipitation, representing how many millimeters of water fall in one hour.
History/Origin
The millimeter per hour has been used in meteorology and hydrology to quantify rainfall intensity, especially with the advent of precise rain gauges and weather measurement tools in the 20th century.
Current Use
Today, mm/h is commonly used in weather forecasting, climate studies, and hydrological assessments to measure and communicate the intensity of rainfall events.
