Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 1072 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1072 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

1072 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 1072 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 635.14263498975 kt

The final result is:

1072 ft/s → 635.14263498975 kt

We conclude that 1072 feet per second is equivalent to 635.14263498975 knots:

1072 feet per second = 635.14263498975 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0015744494935632 × 1072 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1072 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0015744494935632 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand seventy-two feet per second is approximately six hundred thirty-five point one four three knots:

1072 ft/s ≅ 635.143 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero two times one thousand seventy-two feet per second.
