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 5960 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 5960 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
5960 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 5960 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 3066.0888888862 m/s
The final result is:
5960 kt → 3066.0888888862 m/s
We conclude that 5960 knots is equivalent to 3066.0888888862 meters per second:
5960 knots = 3066.0888888862 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 0.0003261484047722 × 5960 knots.
Another way is saying that 5960 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0003261484047722 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 nine hundred sixty knots is approximately three thousand sixty-six point zero eight nine meters per second:
5960 kt ≅ 3066.089 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero times five thousand nine hundred sixty knots.
