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 3165 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3165 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

3165 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3165 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 5341.9181977207 ft/s

The final result is:

3165 kt → 5341.9181977207 ft/s

We conclude that 3165 knots is equivalent to 5341.9181977207 feet per second:

3165 knots = 5341.9181977207 feet per second
