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 1533 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1533 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

1533 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1533 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2587.4125109339 ft/s

The final result is:

1533 kt → 2587.4125109339 ft/s

We conclude that 1533 knots is equivalent to 2587.4125109339 feet per second:

1533 knots = 2587.4125109339 feet per second
