Conversion formula
The conversion factor from meters per second to knots is 1.9438444924423, which means that 1 meter per second is equal to 1.9438444924423 knots:
1 m/s = 1.9438444924423 kt
To convert 1.6 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 1.6 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from meters per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:
1 m/s → 1.9438444924423 kt
1.6 m/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 1.6 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt
V(kt) = 3.1101511879077 kt
The final result is:
1.6 m/s → 3.1101511879077 kt
We conclude that 1.6 meters per second is equivalent to 3.1101511879077 knots:
1.6 meters per second = 3.1101511879077 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.3215277777775 × 1.6 meters per second.
Another way is saying that 1.6 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.3215277777775 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one point six meters per second is approximately three point one one knots:
1.6 m/s ≅ 3.11 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point three two two times one point six meters per second.
