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 3130 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3130 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

3130 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3130 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 5282.8448527222 ft/s

The final result is:

3130 kt → 5282.8448527222 ft/s

We conclude that 3130 knots is equivalent to 5282.8448527222 feet per second:

3130 knots = 5282.8448527222 feet per second

Alternative conversion
