Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 1760 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1760 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

1760 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 1760 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1042.7714902817 kt

The final result is:

1760 ft/s → 1042.7714902817 kt

We conclude that 1760 feet per second is equivalent to 1042.7714902817 knots:

1760 feet per second = 1042.7714902817 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00095898287335212 × 1760 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1760 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00095898287335212 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand seven hundred sixty feet per second is approximately one thousand forty-two point seven seven one knots:

1760 ft/s ≅ 1042.771 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero one times one thousand seven hundred sixty feet per second.
