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 2538 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 2538 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

2538 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 2538 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 4283.6614173191 ft/s

The final result is:

2538 kt → 4283.6614173191 ft/s

We conclude that 2538 knots is equivalent to 4283.6614173191 feet per second:

2538 knots = 4283.6614173191 feet per second
