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 511.6 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 511.6 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

511.6 kt → V(m/s)

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

V(m/s) = 511.6 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V(m/s) = 263.18977777755 m/s

The final result is:

511.6 kt → 263.18977777755 m/s

We conclude that 511.6 knots is equivalent to 263.18977777755 meters per second:

511.6 knots = 263.18977777755 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 0.0037995396646644 × 511.6 knots.

Another way is saying that 511.6 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0037995396646644 meters per second.

Approximate result

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

511.6 kt ≅ 263.19 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero four times five hundred eleven point six knots.
