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 2170 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 2170 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

2170 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 2170 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 3662.5473899064 ft/s

The final result is:

2170 kt → 3662.5473899064 ft/s

We conclude that 2170 knots is equivalent to 3662.5473899064 feet per second:

2170 knots = 3662.5473899064 feet per second
