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 3158 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 3158 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

3158 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 3158 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1871.0638444941 kt

The final result is:

3158 ft/s → 1871.0638444941 kt

We conclude that 3158 feet per second is equivalent to 1871.0638444941 knots:

3158 feet per second = 1871.0638444941 knots

Alternative conversion
