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 4072 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4072 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

4072 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4072 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 6872.7617381101 ft/s

The final result is:

4072 kt → 6872.7617381101 ft/s

We conclude that 4072 knots is equivalent to 6872.7617381101 feet per second:
