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 3140 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 3140 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

3140 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 3140 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1860.3991360707 kt

The final result is:

3140 ft/s → 1860.3991360707 kt

We conclude that 3140 feet per second is equivalent to 1860.3991360707 knots:

3140 feet per second = 1860.3991360707 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00053751906277062 × 3140 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 3140 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00053751906277062 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that three thousand one hundred forty feet per second is approximately one thousand eight hundred sixty point three nine nine knots:

3140 ft/s ≅ 1860.399 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero one times three thousand one hundred forty feet per second.
