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 2172 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 2172 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

2172 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 2172 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 3665.9230096206 ft/s

The final result is:

2172 kt → 3665.9230096206 ft/s

We conclude that 2172 knots is equivalent to 3665.9230096206 feet per second:
