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 1730 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1730 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

1730 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1730 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2919.9110527825 ft/s

The final result is:

1730 kt → 2919.9110527825 ft/s

We conclude that 1730 knots is equivalent to 2919.9110527825 feet per second:

1730 knots = 2919.9110527825 feet per second

Alternative conversion
