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 3184 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 3184 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

3184 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 3184 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1886.4684233278 kt

The final result is:

3184 ft/s → 1886.4684233278 kt

We conclude that 3184 feet per second is equivalent to 1886.4684233278 knots:

3184 feet per second = 1886.4684233278 knots

Alternative conversion
