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 17 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 17 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

17 m/s → V(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V(kt) = 17 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V(kt) = 33.045356371519 kt

The final result is:

17 m/s → 33.045356371519 kt

We conclude that 17 meters per second is equivalent to 33.045356371519 knots:

17 meters per second = 33.045356371519 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.030261437908471 × 17 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 17 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.030261437908471 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that seventeen meters per second is approximately thirty-three point zero four five knots:

17 m/s ≅ 33.045 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero three times seventeen meters per second.
