knot to cm/s Converter - Knot to Centimeter per Second

Conversion derivation

Express both knot and cm/s in the same base unit m/s (meter per second), then cancel the shared base unit.

1. 1

   Rewrite knot in the base unit

   $$1\mathrm{knot}=0.514444m/s$$
2. 2

   Rewrite cm/s in the base unit

   $$1cm/s=0.01m/s$$
3. 3

   Forward conversion

   $$\begin{array}{rl}1\mathrm{knot}& =\frac{0.514444\cancel{m/s}}{0.01\cancel{m/s}}\times 1cm/s\\ & =\frac{0.514444}{0.01}cm/s\\ & =51.4444cm/s\end{array}$$
4. 4

   Reverse conversion

   $$\begin{array}{rl}1cm/s& =\frac{0.01\cancel{m/s}}{0.514444\cancel{m/s}}\times 1\mathrm{knot}\\ & =\frac{0.01}{0.514444}\mathrm{knot}\\ & =0.019438461718\mathrm{knot}\end{array}$$
