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 3720 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3720 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

3720 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3720 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 6278.652668411 ft/s

The final result is:

3720 kt → 6278.652668411 ft/s

We conclude that 3720 knots is equivalent to 6278.652668411 feet per second:

3720 knots = 6278.652668411 feet per second
