Calculation process of conversion value

1 knot = `((1852/3600)) / (342.603648550333)` = 0.001501573163687 speed of sound
1 speed of sound = `(342.603648550333) / ((1852/3600))` = 665.96821532462 knot
? knot × `((1852/3600) ("m/s"/"knot")) / (342.603648550333 ("m/s"/"speed of sound"))` = ? speed of sound

High precision conversion

If conversion between knot to metre-per-second and metre-per-second to speed of sound is exactly definied, high precision conversion from knot to speed of sound is enabled.

Since definition contain rounded number(s) too, there is no sense for high precision calculation, but if you want, you can enable it. Keep in mind, that converted number will be inaccurate due this rounding error!

Details about knot and speed of sound units:

Convert Knot to other unit:

knot

Definition of knot unit: ≡ 1852 m / 1 h. International knot is a speed equivalent to nautical mile (1852 m) per hour. The speed unit used in the field of shipping and aviation.

Convert Speed of sound to other unit:

speed of sound

Definition of speed of sound unit: ≡ (1.4 x 286 x (20+273.15) )^-2. Speed of sound in the air. But this speed varies between 295-340 m/s depending on the air temperature and pressure. From the NASA formula I calculated the speed on sea level at 20°C.
