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 1176 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1176 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

1176 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1176 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1984.8643919493 ft/s

The final result is:

1176 kt → 1984.8643919493 ft/s

We conclude that 1176 knots is equivalent to 1984.8643919493 feet per second:

1176 knots = 1984.8643919493 feet per second

Alternative conversion
