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 273 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 273 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
273 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 273 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 140.44333333321 m/s
The final result is:
273 kt → 140.44333333321 m/s
We conclude that 273 knots is equivalent to 140.44333333321 meters per second:
273 knots = 140.44333333321 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 0.0071203094961256 × 273 knots.
Another way is saying that 273 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0071203094961256 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 seventy-three knots is approximately one hundred forty point four four three meters per second:
273 kt ≅ 140.443 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero seven times two hundred seventy-three knots.
