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 268 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 268 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

268 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 268 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 137.87111111099 m/s

The final result is:

268 kt → 137.87111111099 m/s

We conclude that 268 knots is equivalent to 137.87111111099 meters per second:

268 knots = 137.87111111099 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 0.0072531510912026 × 268 knots.

Another way is saying that 268 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0072531510912026 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-eight knots is approximately one hundred thirty-seven point eight seven one meters per second:

268 kt ≅ 137.871 m/s

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