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 3123 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3123 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

3123 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3123 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 5271.0301837225 ft/s

The final result is:

3123 kt → 5271.0301837225 ft/s

We conclude that 3123 knots is equivalent to 5271.0301837225 feet per second:

3123 knots = 5271.0301837225 feet per second

Alternative conversion
