How to convert centimeters per second to knots

1 cm/s = 0.0194384449244 kn, so multiply by 0.0194384449244 to go from centimeters per second to knots. Going the other way, 1 kn = 51.4444444444 cm/s.

kn = cm/s × 0.0194384449244
cm/s = kn × 51.4444444444

Worked example:

1 cm/s = 0.0194384449244 kn
5 × 0.0194384449244 = 0.097192224622 kn
