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 977 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 977 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
977 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 977 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 578.85667386659 kt
The final result is:
977 ft/s → 578.85667386659 kt
We conclude that 977 feet per second is equivalent to 578.85667386659 knots:
977 feet per second = 578.85667386659 knots
