Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 1972 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1972 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

1972 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 1972 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1168.3780561565 kt

The final result is:

1972 ft/s → 1168.3780561565 kt

We conclude that 1972 feet per second is equivalent to 1168.3780561565 knots:

1972 feet per second = 1168.3780561565 knots
