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 247 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 247 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
247 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 247 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 127.06777777767 m/s
The final result is:
247 kt → 127.06777777767 m/s
We conclude that 247 knots is equivalent to 127.06777777767 meters per second:
247 knots = 127.06777777767 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 0.0078698157588756 × 247 knots.
Another way is saying that 247 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0078698157588756 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-seven knots is approximately one hundred twenty-seven point zero six eight meters per second:
247 kt ≅ 127.068 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero eight times two hundred forty-seven knots.
