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 1972 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1972 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

1972 kt → V(m/s)

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

V(m/s) = 1972 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V(m/s) = 1014.4844444436 m/s

The final result is:

1972 kt → 1014.4844444436 m/s

We conclude that 1972 knots is equivalent to 1014.4844444436 meters per second:

1972 knots = 1014.4844444436 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 0.00098572235925065 × 1972 knots.

Another way is saying that 1972 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00098572235925065 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand nine hundred seventy-two knots is approximately one thousand fourteen point four eight four meters per second:

1972 kt ≅ 1014.484 m/s

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