Conversion formula
The conversion factor from knots to meters per second is 0.514444444444, which means that 1 knot is equal to 0.514444444444 meters per second:
1 kt = 0.514444444444 m/s
To convert 1072 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1072 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to meters per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:
1 kt → 0.514444444444 m/s
1072 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 1072 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 551.48444444397 m/s
The final result is:
1072 kt → 551.48444444397 m/s
We conclude that 1072 knots is equivalent to 551.48444444397 meters per second:
1072 knots = 551.48444444397 meters per second
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter per second is equal to 0.0018132877728006 × 1072 knots.
Another way is saying that 1072 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0018132877728006 meters per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand seventy-two knots is approximately five hundred fifty-one point four eight four meters per second:
1072 kt ≅ 551.484 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times one thousand seventy-two knots.
