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 2740 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 2740 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

2740 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 2740 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 4624.5990084533 ft/s

The final result is:

2740 kt → 4624.5990084533 ft/s

We conclude that 2740 knots is equivalent to 4624.5990084533 feet per second:

2740 knots = 4624.5990084533 feet per second

Alternative conversion
