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 116 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 116 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
116 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 116 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 59.675555555504 m/s
The final result is:
116 kt → 59.675555555504 m/s
We conclude that 116 knots is equivalent to 59.675555555504 meters per second:
116 knots = 59.675555555504 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 0.016757280107261 × 116 knots.
Another way is saying that 116 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.016757280107261 meters per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one hundred sixteen knots is approximately fifty-nine point six seven six meters per second:
116 kt ≅ 59.676 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero one seven times one hundred sixteen knots.
