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 3058 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3058 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

3058 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3058 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 5161.322543011 ft/s

The final result is:

3058 kt → 5161.322543011 ft/s

We conclude that 3058 knots is equivalent to 5161.322543011 feet per second:

3058 knots = 5161.322543011 feet per second

Alternative conversion
