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 61.1 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 61.1 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

61.1 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 61.1 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 31.432555555528 m/s

The final result is:

61.1 kt → 31.432555555528 m/s

We conclude that 61.1 knots is equivalent to 31.432555555528 meters per second:

61.1 knots = 31.432555555528 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 0.031814148812476 × 61.1 knots.

Another way is saying that 61.1 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.031814148812476 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that sixty-one point one knots is approximately thirty-one point four three three meters per second:

61.1 kt ≅ 31.433 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero three two times sixty-one point one knots.
