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 2160 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 2160 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

2160 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 2160 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 3645.6692913354 ft/s

The final result is:

2160 kt → 3645.6692913354 ft/s

We conclude that 2160 knots is equivalent to 3645.6692913354 feet per second:

2160 knots = 3645.6692913354 feet per second

Alternative conversion
