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 4000 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4000 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

4000 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4000 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 6751.2394283989 ft/s

The final result is:

4000 kt → 6751.2394283989 ft/s

We conclude that 4000 knots is equivalent to 6751.2394283989 feet per second:

4000 knots = 6751.2394283989 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 0.0001481209503241 × 4000 knots.

Another way is saying that 4000 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0001481209503241 feet per second.

Approximate result

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

4000 kt ≅ 6751.239 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero times four thousand knots.
