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 3171 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 3171 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
3171 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 3171 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 1631.3033333319 m/s
The final result is:
3171 kt → 1631.3033333319 m/s
We conclude that 3171 knots is equivalent to 1631.3033333319 meters per second:
3171 knots = 1631.3033333319 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 0.00061300677781214 × 3171 knots.
Another way is saying that 3171 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00061300677781214 meters per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that three thousand one hundred seventy-one knots is approximately one thousand six hundred thirty-one point three zero three meters per second:
3171 kt ≅ 1631.303 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times three thousand one hundred seventy-one knots.
