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 1948 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1948 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

1948 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1948 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 3287.8536016303 ft/s

The final result is:

1948 kt → 3287.8536016303 ft/s

We conclude that 1948 knots is equivalent to 3287.8536016303 feet per second:

1948 knots = 3287.8536016303 feet per second
