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 4200 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4200 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

4200 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4200 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 7088.8013998189 ft/s

The final result is:

4200 kt → 7088.8013998189 ft/s

We conclude that 4200 knots is equivalent to 7088.8013998189 feet per second:

4200 knots = 7088.8013998189 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 0.00014106757173724 × 4200 knots.

Another way is saying that 4200 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00014106757173724 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 two hundred knots is approximately seven thousand eighty-eight point eight zero one feet per second:

4200 kt ≅ 7088.801 ft/s

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