Conversion formula

The conversion factor from kilometers per hour to feet per second is 0.91134441528215, which means that 1 kilometer per hour is equal to 0.91134441528215 feet per second:

1 km/h = 0.91134441528215 ft/s

To convert 1740 kilometers per hour into feet per second we have to multiply 1740 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from kilometers per hour to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 km/h → 0.91134441528215 ft/s

1740 km/h → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1740 km/h × 0.91134441528215 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1585.7392825909 ft/s

The final result is:

1740 km/h → 1585.7392825909 ft/s

We conclude that 1740 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 1585.7392825909 feet per second:

1740 kilometers per hour = 1585.7392825909 feet per second
