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 2120 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 2120 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

2120 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 2120 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 3578.1568970514 ft/s

The final result is:

2120 kt → 3578.1568970514 ft/s

We conclude that 2120 knots is equivalent to 3578.1568970514 feet per second:

2120 knots = 3578.1568970514 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 0.00027947349117755 × 2120 knots.

Another way is saying that 2120 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00027947349117755 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 one hundred twenty knots is approximately three thousand five hundred seventy-eight point one five seven feet per second:

2120 kt ≅ 3578.157 ft/s

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