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 230 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 230 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

230 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 230 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 118.32222222212 m/s

The final result is:

230 kt → 118.32222222212 m/s

We conclude that 230 knots is equivalent to 118.32222222212 meters per second:

230 knots = 118.32222222212 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 0.0084514977932273 × 230 knots.

Another way is saying that 230 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0084514977932273 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that two hundred thirty knots is approximately one hundred eighteen point three two two meters per second:

230 kt ≅ 118.322 m/s

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