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 975 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 975 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

975 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 975 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1645.6146106722 ft/s

The final result is:

975 kt → 1645.6146106722 ft/s

We conclude that 975 knots is equivalent to 1645.6146106722 feet per second:

975 knots = 1645.6146106722 feet per second
