Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 4846 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 4846 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

4846 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 4846 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2871.1765010824 kt

The final result is:

4846 ft/s → 2871.1765010824 kt

We conclude that 4846 feet per second is equivalent to 2871.1765010824 knots:

4846 feet per second = 2871.1765010824 knots

Alternative conversion
