How to convert meters per second to knots

1 m/s = 1.94384449244 kn, so multiply by 1.94384449244 to go from meters per second to knots. Going the other way, 1 kn = 0.514444444444 m/s.

kn = m/s × 1.94384449244
m/s = kn × 0.514444444444

Worked example:

1 m/s = 1.94384449244 kn
5 × 1.94384449244 = 9.7192224622 kn
