m/s to knot Converter - Meter per Second to Knot

Conversion derivation

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

1. 1

   Rewrite m/s in the base unit

   $$1m/s=1m/s$$
2. 2

   Rewrite knot in the base unit

   $$1\mathrm{knot}=0.514444m/s$$
3. 3

   Forward conversion

   $$\begin{array}{rl}1m/s& =\frac{1\cancel{m/s}}{0.514444\cancel{m/s}}\times 1\mathrm{knot}\\ & =\frac{1}{0.514444}\mathrm{knot}\\ & =1.94384617179\mathrm{knot}\end{array}$$
4. 4

   Reverse conversion

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