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 2937 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 2937 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

2937 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 2937 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 4957.0975503019 ft/s

The final result is:

2937 kt → 4957.0975503019 ft/s

We conclude that 2937 knots is equivalent to 4957.0975503019 feet per second:
