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 4687 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4687 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

4687 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4687 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 7910.7648002265 ft/s

The final result is:

4687 kt → 7910.7648002265 ft/s

We conclude that 4687 knots is equivalent to 7910.7648002265 feet per second:

4687 knots = 7910.7648002265 feet per second
