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 123 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 123 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

123 kt → V_(m/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:

V_(m/s) = 123 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 63.276666666612 m/s

The final result is:

123 kt → 63.276666666612 m/s

We conclude that 123 knots is equivalent to 63.276666666612 meters per second:

123 knots = 63.276666666612 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 0.015803613759693 × 123 knots.

Another way is saying that 123 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.015803613759693 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 twenty-three knots is approximately sixty-three point two seven seven meters per second:

123 kt ≅ 63.277 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero one six times one hundred twenty-three knots.
