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 311 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 311 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

311 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 311 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 159.99222222208 m/s

The final result is:

311 kt → 159.99222222208 m/s

We conclude that 311 knots is equivalent to 159.99222222208 meters per second:

311 knots = 159.99222222208 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 0.0062503038342196 × 311 knots.

Another way is saying that 311 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0062503038342196 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that three hundred eleven knots is approximately one hundred fifty-nine point nine nine two meters per second:

311 kt ≅ 159.992 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero six times three hundred eleven knots.
