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 2896 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 2896 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

2896 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 2896 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1715.8330885544 kt

The final result is:

2896 ft/s → 1715.8330885544 kt

We conclude that 2896 feet per second is equivalent to 1715.8330885544 knots:

2896 feet per second = 1715.8330885544 knots
