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 962 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 962 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

962 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 962 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1623.6730825299 ft/s

The final result is:

962 kt → 1623.6730825299 ft/s

We conclude that 962 knots is equivalent to 1623.6730825299 feet per second:

962 knots = 1623.6730825299 feet per second
