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 1740 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1740 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

1740 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1740 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2936.7891513535 ft/s

The final result is:

1740 kt → 2936.7891513535 ft/s

We conclude that 1740 knots is equivalent to 2936.7891513535 feet per second:

1740 knots = 2936.7891513535 feet per second

Alternative conversion
