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 331 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 331 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

331 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 331 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 170.28111111096 m/s

The final result is:

331 kt → 170.28111111096 m/s

We conclude that 331 knots is equivalent to 170.28111111096 meters per second:

331 knots = 170.28111111096 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 0.0058726419711247 × 331 knots.

Another way is saying that 331 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0058726419711247 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 thirty-one knots is approximately one hundred seventy point two eight one meters per second:

331 kt ≅ 170.281 m/s

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