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 3640 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3640 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

3640 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3640 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 6143.627879843 ft/s

The final result is:

3640 kt → 6143.627879843 ft/s

We conclude that 3640 knots is equivalent to 6143.627879843 feet per second:

3640 knots = 6143.627879843 feet per second

Alternative conversion
