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 1716 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 1716 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

1716 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 1716 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 523.0368 m/s

The final result is:

1716 ft/s → 523.0368 m/s

We conclude that 1716 feet per second is equivalent to 523.0368 meters per second:

1716 feet per second = 523.0368 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 0.0019119113607303 × 1716 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1716 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0019119113607303 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 sixteen feet per second is approximately five hundred twenty-three point zero three seven meters per second:

1716 ft/s ≅ 523.037 m/s

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