Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to meters per second is 0.3048, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.3048 meters per second:

1 ft/s = 0.3048 m/s

To convert 1711 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 1711 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to meters per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.3048 m/s

1711 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 1711 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 521.5128 m/s

The final result is:

1711 ft/s → 521.5128 m/s

We conclude that 1711 feet per second is equivalent to 521.5128 meters per second:

1711 feet per second = 521.5128 meters per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter per second is equal to 0.0019174984775062 × 1711 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1711 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0019174984775062 meters 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 eleven feet per second is approximately five hundred twenty-one point five one three meters per second:

1711 ft/s ≅ 521.513 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times one thousand seven hundred eleven feet per second.
