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 1949 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1949 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

1949 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1949 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 3289.5414114874 ft/s

The final result is:

1949 kt → 3289.5414114874 ft/s

We conclude that 1949 knots is equivalent to 3289.5414114874 feet per second:

1949 knots = 3289.5414114874 feet per second
