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 3161 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 3161 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

3161 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 3161 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1872.8412958979 kt

The final result is:

3161 ft/s → 1872.8412958979 kt

We conclude that 3161 feet per second is equivalent to 1872.8412958979 knots:

3161 feet per second = 1872.8412958979 knots
