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 3318 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 3318 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

3318 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 3318 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1706.9266666652 m/s

The final result is:

3318 kt → 1706.9266666652 m/s

We conclude that 3318 knots is equivalent to 1706.9266666652 meters per second:

3318 knots = 1706.9266666652 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 0.00058584824968122 × 3318 knots.

Another way is saying that 3318 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00058584824968122 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 three hundred eighteen knots is approximately one thousand seven hundred six point nine two seven meters per second:

3318 kt ≅ 1706.927 m/s

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