1 kn ≈ 0.5144444444 m/s
Precision changes displayed rounding, not calculation accuracy.
m/s = kn × 0.514444444444444m/s = kn × 0.514444444444444
Multiply the kn reading by 0.514444444444444.
1 kn ≈ 0.5144444444 m/s
1 × 0.514444444444444 ≈ 0.5144444444
10 kn ≈ 5.144444444 m/s
10 × 0.514444444444444 ≈ 5.144444444
