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 3617 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3617 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

3617 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3617 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 6104.8082531297 ft/s

The final result is:

3617 kt → 6104.8082531297 ft/s

We conclude that 3617 knots is equivalent to 6104.8082531297 feet per second:

3617 knots = 6104.8082531297 feet per second
