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 2851 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 2851 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

2851 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 2851 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1689.1713174961 kt

The final result is:

2851 ft/s → 1689.1713174961 kt

We conclude that 2851 feet per second is equivalent to 1689.1713174961 knots:

2851 feet per second = 1689.1713174961 knots
