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 961 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 961 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

961 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 961 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1621.9852726728 ft/s

The final result is:

961 kt → 1621.9852726728 ft/s

We conclude that 961 knots is equivalent to 1621.9852726728 feet per second:

961 knots = 1621.9852726728 feet per second
