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 4042 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4042 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

4042 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4042 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 6822.1274423971 ft/s

The final result is:

4042 kt → 6822.1274423971 ft/s

We conclude that 4042 knots is equivalent to 6822.1274423971 feet per second:

4042 knots = 6822.1274423971 feet per second

Alternative conversion
