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 3174 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 3174 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

3174 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 3174 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1880.5435853148 kt

The final result is:

3174 ft/s → 1880.5435853148 kt

We conclude that 3174 feet per second is equivalent to 1880.5435853148 knots:

3174 feet per second = 1880.5435853148 knots
