Convert knot / hour to knot / second

Learn how to convert 1 knot / hour to knot / second step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{k n o t}{h o u r}) = x (\frac{k n o t}{s e c o n d})

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d})

Left side: 1.0 (\frac{k n o t}{h o u r}) = \frac{50.93}{3.564 \times 10^{5}} (\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d}) = \frac{50.93}{3.564 \times 10^{5}} (\frac{m}{s^{2}})

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{k n o t}{s e c o n d}) = \frac{50.93}{99.0} (\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d}) = \frac{50.93}{99.0} (\frac{m}{s^{2}})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (\frac{k n o t}{h o u r}) = x (\frac{k n o t}{s e c o n d})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{50.93}{3.564 \times 10^{5}} \times (\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d}) = x \times \frac{50.93}{99.0} \times (\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d})

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{50.93}{3.564 \times 10^{5}} \cdot (\frac{m}{s^{2}}) = x \cdot \frac{50.93}{99.0} \cdot (\frac{m}{s^{2}})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{50.93}{3.564 \times 10^{5}} \cdot (\frac{m}{s^{2}}) = x \times \frac{50.93}{99.0} \times (\frac{m}{s^{2}})

Conversion Equation

\frac{50.93}{3.564 \times 10^{5}} = x \times \frac{50.93}{99.0}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

\frac{50.93}{3.564 \times 10^{5}} = x \times \frac{50.93}{99.0}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{1.0}{99.0} = \frac{1.0}{3.564 \times 10^{5}}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{99.0}{1.0})

x \times \frac{1.0}{99.0} \times \frac{99.0}{1.0} = \frac{1.0}{3.564 \times 10^{5}} \times \frac{99.0}{1.0}

Cancel

x \times \frac{1.0 \times 99.0}{99.0 \times 1.0} = \frac{1.0 \times 99.0}{3.564 \times 10^{5} \times 1.0}

Simplify

x = \frac{99.0}{3.564 \times 10^{5}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{5}} can be rewritten to 10^{- 5}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{- 5} \times 99.0}{3.564}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0002777778 \approx 2.7778 \times 10^{- 4}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{k n o t}{h o u r}) \approx 2.7778 \times 10^{- 4} (\frac{k n o t}{s e c o n d})
