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 4749 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4749 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

4749 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4749 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8015.4090113667 ft/s

The final result is:

4749 kt → 8015.4090113667 ft/s

We conclude that 4749 knots is equivalent to 8015.4090113667 feet per second:

4749 knots = 8015.4090113667 feet per second

Alternative conversion
