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 1783 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1783 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

1783 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1783 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 3009.3649752088 ft/s

The final result is:

1783 kt → 3009.3649752088 ft/s

We conclude that 1783 knots is equivalent to 3009.3649752088 feet per second:

1783 knots = 3009.3649752088 feet per second

Alternative conversion
