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 262 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 262 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

262 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 262 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 134.78444444433 m/s

The final result is:

262 kt → 134.78444444433 m/s

We conclude that 262 knots is equivalent to 134.78444444433 meters per second:

262 knots = 134.78444444433 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 0.0074192537879476 × 262 knots.

Another way is saying that 262 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0074192537879476 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 sixty-two knots is approximately one hundred thirty-four point seven eight four meters per second:

262 kt ≅ 134.784 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero seven times two hundred sixty-two knots.
