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 173 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 173 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

173 kt → V(m/s)

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

V(m/s) = 173 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V(m/s) = 88.998888888812 m/s

The final result is:

173 kt → 88.998888888812 m/s

We conclude that 173 knots is equivalent to 88.998888888812 meters per second:

173 knots = 88.998888888812 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 0.011236095332036 × 173 knots.

Another way is saying that 173 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.011236095332036 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 seventy-three knots is approximately eighty-eight point nine nine nine meters per second:

173 kt ≅ 88.999 m/s

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