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 5342 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 5342 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

5342 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 5342 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 2748.1622222198 m/s

The final result is:

5342 kt → 2748.1622222198 m/s

We conclude that 5342 knots is equivalent to 2748.1622222198 meters per second:

5342 knots = 2748.1622222198 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 0.00036387953808354 × 5342 knots.

Another way is saying that 5342 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00036387953808354 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five thousand three hundred forty-two knots is approximately two thousand seven hundred forty-eight point one six two meters per second:

5342 kt ≅ 2748.162 m/s

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