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 4172 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4172 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

4172 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4172 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 7041.5427238201 ft/s

The final result is:

4172 kt → 7041.5427238201 ft/s

We conclude that 4172 knots is equivalent to 7041.5427238201 feet per second:

4172 knots = 7041.5427238201 feet per second
