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 2642 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 2642 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

2642 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 2642 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 4459.1936424575 ft/s

The final result is:

2642 kt → 4459.1936424575 ft/s

We conclude that 2642 knots is equivalent to 4459.1936424575 feet per second:
