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 1708 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1708 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
1708 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 1708 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 878.67111111035 m/s
The final result is:
1708 kt → 878.67111111035 m/s
We conclude that 1708 knots is equivalent to 878.67111111035 meters per second:
1708 knots = 878.67111111035 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 0.0011380822555283 × 1708 knots.
Another way is saying that 1708 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0011380822555283 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 eight knots is approximately eight hundred seventy-eight point six seven one meters per second:
1708 kt ≅ 878.671 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times one thousand seven hundred eight knots.
