Convert Knot to Nautical mile per second

Unit definitions

Knot

A nautical mile is a unit of length used in navigation and is equal to $1\,852$ meters. A knot is a unit of speed expressed in nautical miles per hour.

Nautical mile per second

Nautical mile per second is the distance traveled in nautical miles in one second.

How to convert Knot to Nautical mile per second

$$\text{Speed}_{\text{nmi/s}} = \frac{\text{Speed}_{\text{kn}}}{3600}$$

Examples

Example 1

Convert $20.0\ \text{kn}$ to $\text{nmi/s}$.

$$\text{Speed}_{\text{nmi/s}} = \frac{20.0}{3600}$$

$$\text{Speed}_{\text{nmi/s}} = 0.005556$$

$$\therefore \ 20.0\ \text{kn} = 0.005556 \ \text{nmi/s}$$

Example 2

Convert $70.0\ \text{kn}$ to $\text{nmi/s}$.

$$\text{Speed}_{\text{nmi/s}} = \frac{70.0}{3600}$$

$$\text{Speed}_{\text{nmi/s}} = 0.019444$$

$$\therefore \ 70.0\ \text{kn} = 0.019444 \ \text{nmi/s}$$

Example 3

Convert $105.0\ \text{kn}$ to $\text{nmi/s}$.

$$\text{Speed}_{\text{nmi/s}} = \frac{105.0}{3600}$$

$$\text{Speed}_{\text{nmi/s}} = 0.029167$$

$$\therefore \ 105.0\ \text{kn} = 0.029167 \ \text{nmi/s}$$

Example 4

Convert $150.0\ \text{kn}$ to $\text{nmi/s}$.

$$\text{Speed}_{\text{nmi/s}} = \frac{150.0}{3600}$$

$$\text{Speed}_{\text{nmi/s}} = 0.041667$$

$$\therefore \ 150.0\ \text{kn} = 0.041667 \ \text{nmi/s}$$

Example 5

Convert $195.0\ \text{kn}$ to $\text{nmi/s}$.

$$\text{Speed}_{\text{nmi/s}} = \frac{195.0}{3600}$$

$$\text{Speed}_{\text{nmi/s}} = 0.054167$$

$$\therefore \ 195.0\ \text{kn} = 0.054167 \ \text{nmi/s}$$
