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 1162 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1162 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

1162 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1162 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1961.2350539499 ft/s

The final result is:

1162 kt → 1961.2350539499 ft/s

We conclude that 1162 knots is equivalent to 1961.2350539499 feet per second:

1162 knots = 1961.2350539499 feet per second
