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 72.4 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 72.4 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

72.4 m/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 72.4 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 140.73434125282 kt

The final result is:

72.4 m/s → 140.73434125282 kt

We conclude that 72.4 meters per second is equivalent to 140.73434125282 knots:

72.4 meters per second = 140.73434125282 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0071055862492265 × 72.4 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 72.4 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0071055862492265 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that seventy-two point four meters per second is approximately one hundred forty point seven three four knots:

72.4 m/s ≅ 140.734 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero seven times seventy-two point four meters per second.
