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 974 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 974 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

974 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 974 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1643.9268008151 ft/s

The final result is:

974 kt → 1643.9268008151 ft/s

We conclude that 974 knots is equivalent to 1643.9268008151 feet per second:

974 knots = 1643.9268008151 feet per second
