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 3740 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3740 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

3740 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3740 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 6312.408865553 ft/s

The final result is:

3740 kt → 6312.408865553 ft/s

We conclude that 3740 knots is equivalent to 6312.408865553 feet per second:

3740 knots = 6312.408865553 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.00015841812868888 × 3740 knots.

Another way is saying that 3740 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00015841812868888 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that three thousand seven hundred forty knots is approximately six thousand three hundred twelve point four zero nine feet per second:

3740 kt ≅ 6312.409 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero times three thousand seven hundred forty knots.
