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 3642 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3642 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

3642 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3642 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 6147.0034995572 ft/s

The final result is:

3642 kt → 6147.0034995572 ft/s

We conclude that 3642 knots is equivalent to 6147.0034995572 feet per second:

3642 knots = 6147.0034995572 feet per second
