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 4730 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4730 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

4730 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4730 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 7983.3406240818 ft/s

The final result is:

4730 kt → 7983.3406240818 ft/s

We conclude that 4730 knots is equivalent to 7983.3406240818 feet per second:

4730 knots = 7983.3406240818 feet per second
