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 3271 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 3271 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

3271 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 3271 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1682.7477777763 m/s

The final result is:

3271 kt → 1682.7477777763 m/s

We conclude that 3271 knots is equivalent to 1682.7477777763 meters per second:

3271 knots = 1682.7477777763 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 0.00059426612425628 × 3271 knots.

Another way is saying that 3271 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00059426612425628 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 two hundred seventy-one knots is approximately one thousand six hundred eighty-two point seven four eight meters per second:

3271 kt ≅ 1682.748 m/s

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