SUMMARY
The speed of sound in water at 16 degrees Celsius can be approximated using interpolation methods based on known values. The speed at 20 degrees Celsius is established at 1482 m/s. To calculate the speed at 16 degrees Celsius, users can refer to empirical formulas and resources such as the Engineering Toolbox and NPL's technical guides. These resources provide tables and formulas necessary for accurate calculations.
