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 1938 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1938 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

1938 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1938 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 3270.9755030593 ft/s

The final result is:

1938 kt → 3270.9755030593 ft/s

We conclude that 1938 knots is equivalent to 3270.9755030593 feet per second:

1938 knots = 3270.9755030593 feet per second
