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 2916 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 2916 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

2916 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 2916 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 4921.6535433028 ft/s

The final result is:

2916 kt → 4921.6535433028 ft/s

We conclude that 2916 knots is equivalent to 4921.6535433028 feet per second:

2916 knots = 4921.6535433028 feet per second

Alternative conversion
