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 163 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 163 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

163 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 163 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 83.854444444372 m/s

The final result is:

163 kt → 83.854444444372 m/s

We conclude that 163 knots is equivalent to 83.854444444372 meters per second:

163 knots = 83.854444444372 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 0.011925426334002 × 163 knots.

Another way is saying that 163 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.011925426334002 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-three knots is approximately eighty-three point eight five four meters per second:

163 kt ≅ 83.854 m/s

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