- 1 kn = 51.4444444444 cm/s
- 1 × 51.4444444444 = 51.4444444444 cm/s
How to convert knots to centimeters per second
1 kn = 51.4444444444 cm/s, so multiply by 51.4444444444 to go from knots to centimeters per second. Going the other way, 1 cm/s = 0.0194384449244 kn.
cm/s = kn × 51.4444444444 kn = cm/s × 0.0194384449244
Worked example:
1 kn = 51.4444444444 cm/s 5 × 51.4444444444 = 257.222222222 cm/s
