75m beam / 30 sec = 2,5 m/s
2,5m/s / 1852 = 0,0013... nm/s
0,0013... nm/s x 3600 = 4,8596... nm/h
≈ 5 kn
So multiplier to use when converting m/s to kn is: 3600/1852=1.9438...

1.94 is correct yes. I agree with the above calculations. Since we start with seconds we need to multiply by 60 twice, or 3600.
