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 724 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 724 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

724 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 724 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1221.9743365402 ft/s

The final result is:

724 kt → 1221.9743365402 ft/s

We conclude that 724 knots is equivalent to 1221.9743365402 feet per second:

724 knots = 1221.9743365402 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.00081834779184587 × 724 knots.

Another way is saying that 724 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00081834779184587 feet per second.

Approximate result

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

724 kt ≅ 1221.974 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times seven hundred twenty-four knots.
