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 2730 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 2730 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

2730 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 2730 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1617.4807775392 kt

The final result is:

2730 ft/s → 1617.4807775392 kt

We conclude that 2730 feet per second is equivalent to 1617.4807775392 knots:

2730 feet per second = 1617.4807775392 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.000618245368901 × 2730 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 2730 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.000618245368901 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that two thousand seven hundred thirty feet per second is approximately one thousand six hundred seventeen point four eight one knots:

2730 ft/s ≅ 1617.481 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero one times two thousand seven hundred thirty feet per second.
