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 5968 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 5968 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

5968 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 5968 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 3070.2044444418 m/s

The final result is:

5968 kt → 3070.2044444418 m/s

We conclude that 5968 knots is equivalent to 3070.2044444418 meters per second:

5968 knots = 3070.2044444418 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 0.00032571120851915 × 5968 knots.

Another way is saying that 5968 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00032571120851915 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-eight knots is approximately three thousand seventy point two zero four meters per second:

5968 kt ≅ 3070.204 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero times five thousand nine hundred sixty-eight knots.
