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 1885 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1885 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

1885 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1885 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 3181.521580633 ft/s

The final result is:

1885 kt → 3181.521580633 ft/s

We conclude that 1885 knots is equivalent to 3181.521580633 feet per second:

1885 knots = 3181.521580633 feet per second
