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 4685 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4685 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

4685 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4685 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 7907.3891805123 ft/s

The final result is:

4685 kt → 7907.3891805123 ft/s

We conclude that 4685 knots is equivalent to 7907.3891805123 feet per second:
