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 740 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 740 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

740 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 740 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 380.68888888856 m/s

The final result is:

740 kt → 380.68888888856 m/s

We conclude that 740 knots is equivalent to 380.68888888856 meters per second:

740 knots = 380.68888888856 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 0.0026268168816788 × 740 knots.

Another way is saying that 740 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0026268168816788 meters per second.

Approximate result

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

740 kt ≅ 380.689 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero three times seven hundred forty knots.
