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 3849 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 3849 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

3849 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 3849 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2280.4701511899 kt

The final result is:

3849 ft/s → 2280.4701511899 kt

We conclude that 3849 feet per second is equivalent to 2280.4701511899 knots:

3849 feet per second = 2280.4701511899 knots

Alternative conversion
