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 1996 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1996 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

1996 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1996 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1182.5976673876 kt

The final result is:

1996 ft/s → 1182.5976673876 kt

We conclude that 1996 feet per second is equivalent to 1182.5976673876 knots:

1996 feet per second = 1182.5976673876 knots
