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 696 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 696 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

696 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 696 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 358.05333333302 m/s

The final result is:

696 kt → 358.05333333302 m/s

We conclude that 696 knots is equivalent to 358.05333333302 meters per second:

696 knots = 358.05333333302 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 0.0027928800178768 × 696 knots.

Another way is saying that 696 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0027928800178768 meters per second.

Approximate result

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

696 kt ≅ 358.053 m/s

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