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 272 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 272 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
272 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 272 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 139.92888888877 m/s
The final result is:
272 kt → 139.92888888877 m/s
We conclude that 272 knots is equivalent to 139.92888888877 meters per second:
272 knots = 139.92888888877 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 0.0071464871045672 × 272 knots.
Another way is saying that 272 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0071464871045672 meters per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that two hundred seventy-two knots is approximately one hundred thirty-nine point nine two nine meters per second:
272 kt ≅ 139.929 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero seven times two hundred seventy-two knots.
