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 1972 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1972 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

1972 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1972 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 3328.3610382007 ft/s

The final result is:

1972 kt → 3328.3610382007 ft/s

We conclude that 1972 knots is equivalent to 3328.3610382007 feet per second:

1972 knots = 3328.3610382007 feet per second

Alternative conversion
