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 576 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 576 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

576 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 576 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 972.17847768945 ft/s

The final result is:

576 kt → 972.17847768945 ft/s

We conclude that 576 knots is equivalent to 972.17847768945 feet per second:

576 knots = 972.17847768945 feet per second
