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 3688 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 3688 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

3688 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 3688 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2185.0802591812 kt

The final result is:

3688 ft/s → 2185.0802591812 kt

We conclude that 3688 feet per second is equivalent to 2185.0802591812 knots:

3688 feet per second = 2185.0802591812 knots

Alternative conversion
