Conversion formula
The conversion factor from knots to meters per second is 0.514444444444, which means that 1 knot is equal to 0.514444444444 meters per second:
1 kt = 0.514444444444 m/s
To convert 1688 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1688 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to meters per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:
1 kt → 0.514444444444 m/s
1688 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 1688 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 868.38222222147 m/s
The final result is:
1688 kt → 868.38222222147 m/s
We conclude that 1688 knots is equivalent to 868.38222222147 meters per second:
1688 knots = 868.38222222147 meters per second
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter per second is equal to 0.0011515666424421 × 1688 knots.
Another way is saying that 1688 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0011515666424421 meters per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand six hundred eighty-eight knots is approximately eight hundred sixty-eight point three eight two meters per second:
1688 kt ≅ 868.382 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times one thousand six hundred eighty-eight knots.
