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 3378 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 3378 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

3378 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 3378 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1737.7933333318 m/s

The final result is:

3378 kt → 1737.7933333318 m/s

We conclude that 3378 knots is equivalent to 1737.7933333318 meters per second:

3378 knots = 1737.7933333318 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 0.00057544241931388 × 3378 knots.

Another way is saying that 3378 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00057544241931388 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 seventy-eight knots is approximately one thousand seven hundred thirty-seven point seven nine three meters per second:

3378 kt ≅ 1737.793 m/s

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