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 3400 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3400 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

3400 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3400 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 5738.5535141391 ft/s

The final result is:

3400 kt → 5738.5535141391 ft/s

We conclude that 3400 knots is equivalent to 5738.5535141391 feet per second:

3400 knots = 5738.5535141391 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.00017425994155777 × 3400 knots.

Another way is saying that 3400 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00017425994155777 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that three thousand four hundred knots is approximately five thousand seven hundred thirty-eight point five five four feet per second:

3400 kt ≅ 5738.554 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero times three thousand four hundred knots.
