What is knot?

A knot is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour, approximately 1.852 km/h. It is the international standard for maritime navigation, aviation, and meteorological wind speed reporting.

What is centimetre per second?

Centimetre per second is a unit of speed used in low-velocity applications such as biological locomotion studies, microfluidics research, and slow-moving mechanical systems.

Worked examples

1 knot = 51.44444444 centimetre per second
