Conversion formula
The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:
1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt
To convert 1720 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1720 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:
1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt
1720 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 1720 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 1019.0721382298 kt
The final result is:
1720 ft/s → 1019.0721382298 kt
We conclude that 1720 feet per second is equivalent to 1019.0721382298 knots:
1720 feet per second = 1019.0721382298 knots
Alternative conversion
