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 162 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 162 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

162 kt → V(m/s)

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

V(m/s) = 162 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V(m/s) = 83.339999999928 m/s

The final result is:

162 kt → 83.339999999928 m/s

We conclude that 162 knots is equivalent to 83.339999999928 meters per second:

162 knots = 83.339999999928 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 0.011999040076804 × 162 knots.

Another way is saying that 162 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.011999040076804 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 sixty-two knots is approximately eighty-three point three four meters per second:

162 kt ≅ 83.34 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero one two times one hundred sixty-two knots.
