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 3250 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3250 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

3250 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3250 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 5485.3820355741 ft/s

The final result is:

3250 kt → 5485.3820355741 ft/s

We conclude that 3250 knots is equivalent to 5485.3820355741 feet per second:

3250 knots = 5485.3820355741 feet per second
