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 785 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 785 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

785 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 785 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1324.9307378233 ft/s

The final result is:

785 kt → 1324.9307378233 ft/s

We conclude that 785 knots is equivalent to 1324.9307378233 feet per second:

785 knots = 1324.9307378233 feet per second
