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 1710 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1710 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

1710 kt → V_(m/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:

V_(m/s) = 1710 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 879.69999999924 m/s

The final result is:

1710 kt → 879.69999999924 m/s

We conclude that 1710 knots is equivalent to 879.69999999924 meters per second:

1710 knots = 879.69999999924 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 0.0011367511651709 × 1710 knots.

Another way is saying that 1710 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0011367511651709 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 ten knots is approximately eight hundred seventy-nine point seven meters per second:

1710 kt ≅ 879.7 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times one thousand seven hundred ten knots.
