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 1721 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 1721 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

1721 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 1721 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 524.5608 m/s

The final result is:

1721 ft/s → 524.5608 m/s

We conclude that 1721 feet per second is equivalent to 524.5608 meters per second:

1721 feet per second = 524.5608 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 0.0019063567083167 × 1721 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1721 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0019063567083167 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 twenty-one feet per second is approximately five hundred twenty-four point five six one meters per second:

1721 ft/s ≅ 524.561 m/s

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