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 817 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 817 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
817 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 817 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 420.30111111075 m/s
The final result is:
817 kt → 420.30111111075 m/s
We conclude that 817 knots is equivalent to 420.30111111075 meters per second:
817 knots = 420.30111111075 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 0.0023792466247764 × 817 knots.
Another way is saying that 817 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0023792466247764 meters per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eight hundred seventeen knots is approximately four hundred twenty point three zero one meters per second:
817 kt ≅ 420.301 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times eight hundred seventeen knots.
