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 730 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 730 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

730 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 730 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1232.1011956828 ft/s

The final result is:

730 kt → 1232.1011956828 ft/s

We conclude that 730 knots is equivalent to 1232.1011956828 feet per second:

730 knots = 1232.1011956828 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 0.00081162164561152 × 730 knots.

Another way is saying that 730 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00081162164561152 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 thirty knots is approximately one thousand two hundred thirty-two point one zero one feet per second:

730 kt ≅ 1232.101 ft/s

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