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 4742 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 4742 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

4742 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 4742 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 2439.4955555534 m/s

The final result is:

4742 kt → 2439.4955555534 m/s

We conclude that 4742 knots is equivalent to 2439.4955555534 meters per second:

4742 knots = 2439.4955555534 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 0.00040992081240875 × 4742 knots.

Another way is saying that 4742 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00040992081240875 meters per second.

Approximate result

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

4742 kt ≅ 2439.496 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero times four thousand seven hundred forty-two knots.
