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 1789 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1789 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

1789 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1789 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1059.9535205193 kt

The final result is:

1789 ft/s → 1059.9535205193 kt

We conclude that 1789 feet per second is equivalent to 1059.9535205193 knots:

1789 feet per second = 1059.9535205193 knots

Alternative conversion
