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 2742 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 2742 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

2742 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 2742 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 4627.9746281675 ft/s

The final result is:

2742 kt → 4627.9746281675 ft/s

We conclude that 2742 knots is equivalent to 4627.9746281675 feet per second:

2742 knots = 4627.9746281675 feet per second
