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 6.3 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 6.3 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

6.3 m/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 6.3 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 12.246220302386 kt

The final result is:

6.3 m/s → 12.246220302386 kt

We conclude that 6.3 meters per second is equivalent to 12.246220302386 knots:

6.3 meters per second = 12.246220302386 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.081657848324444 × 6.3 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 6.3 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.081657848324444 knots.

Approximate result

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

6.3 m/s ≅ 12.246 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero eight two times six point three meters per second.
