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 3164 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3164 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

3164 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3164 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 5340.2303878636 ft/s

The final result is:

3164 kt → 5340.2303878636 ft/s

We conclude that 3164 knots is equivalent to 5340.2303878636 feet per second:

3164 knots = 5340.2303878636 feet per second
