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 3858 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 3858 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

3858 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 3858 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2285.8025054015 kt

The final result is:

3858 ft/s → 2285.8025054015 kt

We conclude that 3858 feet per second is equivalent to 2285.8025054015 knots:

3858 feet per second = 2285.8025054015 knots

Alternative conversion
