one, one thousand, two, one thousand...... - InerziaSoft

Sorry, I'm not sure to understand: the calculation inside the widget are made in meters.
I didn't insert "foot" as possible unit (do you think it could be useful?); which unit did you used to obtain what you say?
I see that the correct value is around 1120 feet/second, depending on the temperature, that is not so far from 1000: maybe I've made some unnecessary rounding and I have to retain more decimal digits. I can only see that the result in meters is exact (around 335 m/s).
Could you help?
Thanks
