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 3142 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 3142 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

3142 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 3142 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1861.5841036733 kt

The final result is:

3142 ft/s → 1861.5841036733 kt

We conclude that 3142 feet per second is equivalent to 1861.5841036733 knots:

3142 feet per second = 1861.5841036733 knots

Alternative conversion
