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 3240 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 3240 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
3240 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 3240 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 1666.7999999986 m/s
The final result is:
3240 kt → 1666.7999999986 m/s
We conclude that 3240 knots is equivalent to 1666.7999999986 meters per second:
3240 knots = 1666.7999999986 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 0.00059995200384021 × 3240 knots.
Another way is saying that 3240 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00059995200384021 meters per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that three thousand two hundred forty knots is approximately one thousand six hundred sixty-six point eight meters per second:
3240 kt ≅ 1666.8 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times three thousand two hundred forty knots.
