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 3137 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 3137 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

3137 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 3137 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1858.6216846668 kt

The final result is:

3137 ft/s → 1858.6216846668 kt

We conclude that 3137 feet per second is equivalent to 1858.6216846668 knots:

3137 feet per second = 1858.6216846668 knots

Alternative conversion
