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 727 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 727 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

727 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 727 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 374.00111111079 m/s

The final result is:

727 kt → 374.00111111079 m/s

We conclude that 727 knots is equivalent to 374.00111111079 meters per second:

727 knots = 374.00111111079 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 0.0026737888479261 × 727 knots.

Another way is saying that 727 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0026737888479261 meters per second.

Approximate result

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

727 kt ≅ 374.001 m/s

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