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 983 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 983 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

983 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 983 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1659.117089529 ft/s

The final result is:

983 kt → 1659.117089529 ft/s

We conclude that 983 knots is equivalent to 1659.117089529 feet per second:

983 knots = 1659.117089529 feet per second
