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 1760 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1760 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

1760 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1760 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2970.5453484955 ft/s

The final result is:

1760 kt → 2970.5453484955 ft/s

We conclude that 1760 knots is equivalent to 2970.5453484955 feet per second:

1760 knots = 2970.5453484955 feet per second
