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 527 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 527 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

527 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 527 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 271.11222222199 m/s

The final result is:

527 kt → 271.11222222199 m/s

We conclude that 527 knots is equivalent to 271.11222222199 meters per second:

527 knots = 271.11222222199 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 0.003688509473325 × 527 knots.

Another way is saying that 527 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.003688509473325 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 twenty-seven knots is approximately two hundred seventy-one point one one two meters per second:

527 kt ≅ 271.112 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero four times five hundred twenty-seven knots.
