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 531 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 531 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

531 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 531 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 273.16999999976 m/s

The final result is:

531 kt → 273.16999999976 m/s

We conclude that 531 knots is equivalent to 273.16999999976 meters per second:

531 knots = 273.16999999976 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 0.0036607240912284 × 531 knots.

Another way is saying that 531 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0036607240912284 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 thirty-one knots is approximately two hundred seventy-three point one seven meters per second:

531 kt ≅ 273.17 m/s

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