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 2983 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 2983 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

2983 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 2983 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1767.3791792672 kt

The final result is:

2983 ft/s → 1767.3791792672 kt

We conclude that 2983 feet per second is equivalent to 1767.3791792672 knots:

2983 feet per second = 1767.3791792672 knots
