Conversion formula
The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:
1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt
To convert 972 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 972 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:
1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt
972 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 972 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 575.89425486011 kt
The final result is:
972 ft/s → 575.89425486011 kt
We conclude that 972 feet per second is equivalent to 575.89425486011 knots:
972 feet per second = 575.89425486011 knots
