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 4760 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4760 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

4760 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4760 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8033.9749197947 ft/s

The final result is:

4760 kt → 8033.9749197947 ft/s

We conclude that 4760 knots is equivalent to 8033.9749197947 feet per second:

4760 knots = 8033.9749197947 feet per second

Alternative conversion
