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 1872 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1872 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

1872 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1872 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 3159.5800524907 ft/s

The final result is:

1872 kt → 3159.5800524907 ft/s

We conclude that 1872 knots is equivalent to 3159.5800524907 feet per second:
