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 3397 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 3397 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

3397 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 3397 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1747.5677777763 m/s

The final result is:

3397 kt → 1747.5677777763 m/s

We conclude that 3397 knots is equivalent to 1747.5677777763 meters per second:

3397 knots = 1747.5677777763 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 0.00057222387178166 × 3397 knots.

Another way is saying that 3397 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00057222387178166 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 ninety-seven knots is approximately one thousand seven hundred forty-seven point five six eight meters per second:

3397 kt ≅ 1747.568 m/s

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