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 8472 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 8472 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
8472 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 8472 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 4358.3733333296 m/s
The final result is:
8472 kt → 4358.3733333296 m/s
We conclude that 8472 knots is equivalent to 4358.3733333296 meters per second:
8472 knots = 4358.3733333296 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 0.00022944340090206 × 8472 knots.
Another way is saying that 8472 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00022944340090206 meters per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eight thousand four hundred seventy-two knots is approximately four thousand three hundred fifty-eight point three seven three meters per second:
8472 kt ≅ 4358.373 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero times eight thousand four hundred seventy-two knots.
