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 4740 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4740 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
4740 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 4740 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 8000.2187226528 ft/s
The final result is:
4740 kt → 8000.2187226528 ft/s
We conclude that 4740 knots is equivalent to 8000.2187226528 feet per second:
4740 knots = 8000.2187226528 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 0.00012499658255198 × 4740 knots.
