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 1977 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1977 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

1977 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1977 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 3336.8000874862 ft/s

The final result is:

1977 kt → 3336.8000874862 ft/s

We conclude that 1977 knots is equivalent to 3336.8000874862 feet per second:

1977 knots = 3336.8000874862 feet per second
