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 530 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 530 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
530 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 530 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 272.65555555532 m/s
The final result is:
530 kt → 272.65555555532 m/s
We conclude that 530 knots is equivalent to 272.65555555532 meters per second:
530 knots = 272.65555555532 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 0.0036676311178156 × 530 knots.
Another way is saying that 530 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0036676311178156 meters per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five hundred thirty knots is approximately two hundred seventy-two point six five six meters per second:
530 kt ≅ 272.656 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero four times five hundred thirty knots.
