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 1742 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1742 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

1742 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 1742 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 896.16222222145 m/s

The final result is:

1742 kt → 896.16222222145 m/s

We conclude that 1742 knots is equivalent to 896.16222222145 meters per second:

1742 knots = 896.16222222145 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 0.0011158693986465 × 1742 knots.

Another way is saying that 1742 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0011158693986465 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 forty-two knots is approximately eight hundred ninety-six point one six two meters per second:

1742 kt ≅ 896.162 m/s

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