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 3609 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 3609 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

3609 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 3609 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2138.2740388787 kt

The final result is:

3609 ft/s → 2138.2740388787 kt

We conclude that 3609 feet per second is equivalent to 2138.2740388787 knots:

3609 feet per second = 2138.2740388787 knots

Alternative conversion
