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 3183 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 3183 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

3183 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 3183 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1885.8759395265 kt

The final result is:

3183 ft/s → 1885.8759395265 kt

We conclude that 3183 feet per second is equivalent to 1885.8759395265 knots:

3183 feet per second = 1885.8759395265 knots
