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 137 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 137 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

137 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 137 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 70.478888888828 m/s

The final result is:

137 kt → 70.478888888828 m/s

We conclude that 137 knots is equivalent to 70.478888888828 meters per second:

137 knots = 70.478888888828 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 0.014188645930236 × 137 knots.

Another way is saying that 137 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.014188645930236 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 thirty-seven knots is approximately seventy point four seven nine meters per second:

137 kt ≅ 70.479 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero one four times one hundred thirty-seven knots.
