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 1700 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1700 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
1700 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 1700 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 874.5555555548 m/s
The final result is:
1700 kt → 874.5555555548 m/s
We conclude that 1700 knots is equivalent to 874.5555555548 meters per second:
1700 knots = 874.5555555548 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 0.0011434379367308 × 1700 knots.
Another way is saying that 1700 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0011434379367308 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 seven hundred knots is approximately eight hundred seventy-four point five five six meters per second:
1700 kt ≅ 874.556 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times one thousand seven hundred knots.
