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 840 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 840 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

840 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 840 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 432.13333333296 m/s

The final result is:

840 kt → 432.13333333296 m/s

We conclude that 840 knots is equivalent to 432.13333333296 meters per second:

840 knots = 432.13333333296 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 0.0023141005862408 × 840 knots.

Another way is saying that 840 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0023141005862408 meters per second.

Approximate result

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

840 kt ≅ 432.133 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times eight hundred forty knots.
