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 180 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 180 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

180 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 180 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 92.59999999992 m/s

The final result is:

180 kt → 92.59999999992 m/s

We conclude that 180 knots is equivalent to 92.59999999992 meters per second:

180 knots = 92.59999999992 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 0.010799136069124 × 180 knots.

Another way is saying that 180 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.010799136069124 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 eighty knots is approximately ninety-two point six meters per second:

180 kt ≅ 92.6 m/s

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