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 3138 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 3138 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

3138 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 3138 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1859.2141684681 kt

The final result is:

3138 ft/s → 1859.2141684681 kt

We conclude that 3138 feet per second is equivalent to 1859.2141684681 knots:

3138 feet per second = 1859.2141684681 knots

Alternative conversion
