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 3140 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3140 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

3140 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3140 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 5299.7229512932 ft/s

The final result is:

3140 kt → 5299.7229512932 ft/s

We conclude that 3140 knots is equivalent to 5299.7229512932 feet per second:

3140 knots = 5299.7229512932 feet per second
