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 973.5 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 973.5 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
973.5 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 973.5 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 1643.0828958866 ft/s
The final result is:
973.5 kt → 1643.0828958866 ft/s
We conclude that 973.5 knots is equivalent to 1643.0828958866 feet per second:
973.5 knots = 1643.0828958866 feet per second
