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 9704 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 9704 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

9704 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 9704 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 16378.506853296 ft/s

The final result is:

9704 kt → 16378.506853296 ft/s

We conclude that 9704 knots is equivalent to 16378.506853296 feet per second:

9704 knots = 16378.506853296 feet per second
