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 2940 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 2940 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

2940 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 2940 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 4962.1609798732 ft/s

The final result is:

2940 kt → 4962.1609798732 ft/s

We conclude that 2940 knots is equivalent to 4962.1609798732 feet per second:

2940 knots = 4962.1609798732 feet per second

Alternative conversion
