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 277 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 277 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
277 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 277 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 142.50111111099 m/s
The final result is:
277 kt → 142.50111111099 m/s
We conclude that 277 knots is equivalent to 142.50111111099 meters per second:
277 knots = 142.50111111099 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 0.0070174891423909 × 277 knots.
Another way is saying that 277 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0070174891423909 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-seven knots is approximately one hundred forty-two point five zero one meters per second:
277 kt ≅ 142.501 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero seven times two hundred seventy-seven knots.
