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 742 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 742 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

742 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 742 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1252.354913968 ft/s

The final result is:

742 kt → 1252.354913968 ft/s

We conclude that 742 knots is equivalent to 1252.354913968 feet per second:

742 knots = 1252.354913968 feet per second

Alternative conversion
