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 1710 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1710 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

1710 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1710 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2886.1548556406 ft/s

The final result is:

1710 kt → 2886.1548556406 ft/s

We conclude that 1710 knots is equivalent to 2886.1548556406 feet per second:

1710 knots = 2886.1548556406 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 0.0003464817551441 × 1710 knots.

Another way is saying that 1710 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0003464817551441 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 seven hundred ten knots is approximately two thousand eight hundred eighty-six point one five five feet per second:

1710 kt ≅ 2886.155 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero times one thousand seven hundred ten knots.
