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 240 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 240 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

240 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 240 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 123.46666666656 m/s

The final result is:

240 kt → 123.46666666656 m/s

We conclude that 240 knots is equivalent to 123.46666666656 meters per second:

240 knots = 123.46666666656 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 0.0080993520518429 × 240 knots.

Another way is saying that 240 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0080993520518429 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 forty knots is approximately one hundred twenty-three point four six seven meters per second:

240 kt ≅ 123.467 m/s

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