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 1721 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1721 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
1721 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 1721 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 885.35888888812 m/s
The final result is:
1721 kt → 885.35888888812 m/s
We conclude that 1721 knots is equivalent to 885.35888888812 meters per second:
1721 knots = 885.35888888812 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 0.0011294854691704 × 1721 knots.
Another way is saying that 1721 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0011294854691704 meters per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand seven hundred twenty-one knots is approximately eight hundred eighty-five point three five nine meters per second:
1721 kt ≅ 885.359 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times one thousand seven hundred twenty-one knots.
