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 1960 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1960 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

1960 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1960 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 3308.1073199155 ft/s

The final result is:

1960 kt → 3308.1073199155 ft/s

We conclude that 1960 knots is equivalent to 3308.1073199155 feet per second:

1960 knots = 3308.1073199155 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.00030228765372266 × 1960 knots.

Another way is saying that 1960 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00030228765372266 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand nine hundred sixty knots is approximately three thousand three hundred eight point one zero seven feet per second:

1960 kt ≅ 3308.107 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero times one thousand nine hundred sixty knots.
