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 2042 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 2042 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

2042 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 2042 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 3446.5077281977 ft/s

The final result is:

2042 kt → 3446.5077281977 ft/s

We conclude that 2042 knots is equivalent to 3446.5077281977 feet per second:

2042 knots = 3446.5077281977 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.00029014877634496 × 2042 knots.

Another way is saying that 2042 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00029014877634496 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that two thousand forty-two knots is approximately three thousand four hundred forty-six point five zero eight feet per second:

2042 kt ≅ 3446.508 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero times two thousand forty-two knots.
