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 3017 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 3017 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

3017 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 3017 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1787.5236285113 kt

The final result is:

3017 ft/s → 1787.5236285113 kt

We conclude that 3017 feet per second is equivalent to 1787.5236285113 knots:

3017 feet per second = 1787.5236285113 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00055943316443478 × 3017 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 3017 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00055943316443478 knots.

Approximate result

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

3017 ft/s ≅ 1787.524 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero one times three thousand seventeen feet per second.
