Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to feet per second is 1.6878098570997, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.6878098570997 feet per second:

1 kt = 1.6878098570997 ft/s

To convert 1057 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1057 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.6878098570997 ft/s

1057 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1057 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1784.0150189544 ft/s

The final result is:

1057 kt → 1784.0150189544 ft/s

We conclude that 1057 knots is equivalent to 1784.0150189544 feet per second:

1057 knots = 1784.0150189544 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.00056053339763142 × 1057 knots.

Another way is saying that 1057 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00056053339763142 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand fifty-seven knots is approximately one thousand seven hundred eighty-four point zero one five feet per second:

1057 kt ≅ 1784.015 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times one thousand fifty-seven knots.
