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 1796 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1796 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

1796 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1796 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 3031.3065033511 ft/s

The final result is:

1796 kt → 3031.3065033511 ft/s

We conclude that 1796 knots is equivalent to 3031.3065033511 feet per second:

1796 knots = 3031.3065033511 feet per second
