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 345 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 345 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

345 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 345 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 177.48333333318 m/s

The final result is:

345 kt → 177.48333333318 m/s

We conclude that 345 knots is equivalent to 177.48333333318 meters per second:

345 knots = 177.48333333318 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 0.0056343318621515 × 345 knots.

Another way is saying that 345 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0056343318621515 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 forty-five knots is approximately one hundred seventy-seven point four eight three meters per second:

345 kt ≅ 177.483 m/s

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