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 3472 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3472 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

3472 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3472 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 5860.0758238503 ft/s

The final result is:

3472 kt → 5860.0758238503 ft/s

We conclude that 3472 knots is equivalent to 5860.0758238503 feet per second:

3472 knots = 5860.0758238503 feet per second
