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 729 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 729 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

729 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 729 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 375.02999999968 m/s

The final result is:

729 kt → 375.02999999968 m/s

We conclude that 729 knots is equivalent to 375.02999999968 meters per second:

729 knots = 375.02999999968 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 0.0026664533504009 × 729 knots.

Another way is saying that 729 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0026664533504009 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-nine knots is approximately three hundred seventy-five point zero three meters per second:

729 kt ≅ 375.03 m/s

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