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 976 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 976 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

976 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 976 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1647.3024205293 ft/s

The final result is:

976 kt → 1647.3024205293 ft/s

We conclude that 976 knots is equivalent to 1647.3024205293 feet per second:

976 knots = 1647.3024205293 feet per second
