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 1738 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1738 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

1738 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1738 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2933.4135316393 ft/s

The final result is:

1738 kt → 2933.4135316393 ft/s

We conclude that 1738 knots is equivalent to 2933.4135316393 feet per second:

1738 knots = 2933.4135316393 feet per second

Alternative conversion
