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 493 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 493 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

493 m/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 493 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 958.31533477405 kt

The final result is:

493 m/s → 958.31533477405 kt

We conclude that 493 meters per second is equivalent to 958.31533477405 knots:

493 meters per second = 958.31533477405 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0010434978589128 × 493 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 493 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0010434978589128 knots.

Approximate result

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

493 m/s ≅ 958.315 kt

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