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 1785 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1785 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

1785 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1785 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 3012.740594923 ft/s

The final result is:

1785 kt → 3012.740594923 ft/s

We conclude that 1785 knots is equivalent to 3012.740594923 feet per second:

1785 knots = 3012.740594923 feet per second
