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 174 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 174 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

174 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 174 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 89.513333333256 m/s

The final result is:

174 kt → 89.513333333256 m/s

We conclude that 174 knots is equivalent to 89.513333333256 meters per second:

174 knots = 89.513333333256 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 0.011171520071507 × 174 knots.

Another way is saying that 174 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.011171520071507 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-four knots is approximately eighty-nine point five one three meters per second:

174 kt ≅ 89.513 m/s

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