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 3146 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3146 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

3146 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3146 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 5309.8498104358 ft/s

The final result is:

3146 kt → 5309.8498104358 ft/s

We conclude that 3146 knots is equivalent to 5309.8498104358 feet per second:

3146 knots = 5309.8498104358 feet per second
