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 493 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 493 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

493 kt → V(m/s)

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

V(m/s) = 493 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V(m/s) = 253.62111111089 m/s

The final result is:

493 kt → 253.62111111089 m/s

We conclude that 493 knots is equivalent to 253.62111111089 meters per second:

493 knots = 253.62111111089 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 0.0039428894370026 × 493 knots.

Another way is saying that 493 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0039428894370026 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that four hundred ninety-three knots is approximately two hundred fifty-three point six two one meters per second:

493 kt ≅ 253.621 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero four times four hundred ninety-three knots.
