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 3173 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 3173 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

3173 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 3173 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1879.9511015135 kt

The final result is:

3173 ft/s → 1879.9511015135 kt

We conclude that 3173 feet per second is equivalent to 1879.9511015135 knots:

3173 feet per second = 1879.9511015135 knots

Alternative conversion
