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 117.1 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 117.1 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
117.1 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 117.1 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 60.241444444392 m/s
The final result is:
117.1 kt → 60.241444444392 m/s
We conclude that 117.1 knots is equivalent to 60.241444444392 meters per second:
117.1 knots = 60.241444444392 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 0.01659986756996 × 117.1 knots.
Another way is saying that 117.1 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.01659986756996 meters per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one hundred seventeen point one knots is approximately sixty point two four one meters per second:
117.1 kt ≅ 60.241 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero one seven times one hundred seventeen point one knots.
