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 3000 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 3000 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

3000 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 3000 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1777.4514038892 kt

The final result is:

3000 ft/s → 1777.4514038892 kt

We conclude that 3000 feet per second is equivalent to 1777.4514038892 knots:

3000 feet per second = 1777.4514038892 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00056260328569991 × 3000 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 3000 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00056260328569991 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that three thousand feet per second is approximately one thousand seven hundred seventy-seven point four five one knots:

3000 ft/s ≅ 1777.451 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero one times three thousand feet per second.
