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 3709 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3709 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

3709 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3709 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 6260.0867599829 ft/s

The final result is:

3709 kt → 6260.0867599829 ft/s

We conclude that 3709 knots is equivalent to 6260.0867599829 feet per second:
