Conversion formula

The conversion factor from meters per second to knots is 1.9438444924423, which means that 1 meter per second is equal to 1.9438444924423 knots:

1 m/s = 1.9438444924423 kt

To convert 277 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 277 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from meters per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 m/s → 1.9438444924423 kt

277 m/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 277 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 538.44492440651 kt

The final result is:

277 m/s → 538.44492440651 kt

We conclude that 277 meters per second is equivalent to 538.44492440651 knots:

277 meters per second = 538.44492440651 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0018572001604477 × 277 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 277 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0018572001604477 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that two hundred seventy-seven meters per second is approximately five hundred thirty-eight point four four five knots:

277 m/s ≅ 538.445 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero two times two hundred seventy-seven meters per second.
