Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 2740 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 2740 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

2740 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 2740 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1623.4056155522 kt

The final result is:

2740 ft/s → 1623.4056155522 kt

We conclude that 2740 feet per second is equivalent to 1623.4056155522 knots:

2740 feet per second = 1623.4056155522 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00061598899894151 × 2740 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 2740 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00061598899894151 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that two thousand seven hundred forty feet per second is approximately one thousand six hundred twenty-three point four zero six knots:

2740 ft/s ≅ 1623.406 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero one times two thousand seven hundred forty feet per second.
