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 1731 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1731 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

1731 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1731 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2921.5988626396 ft/s

The final result is:

1731 kt → 2921.5988626396 ft/s

We conclude that 1731 knots is equivalent to 2921.5988626396 feet per second:

1731 knots = 2921.5988626396 feet per second
