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 2496 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 2496 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

2496 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 2496 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 4212.7734033209 ft/s

The final result is:

2496 kt → 4212.7734033209 ft/s

We conclude that 2496 knots is equivalent to 4212.7734033209 feet per second:
