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 4860 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4860 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

4860 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4860 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8202.7559055047 ft/s

The final result is:

4860 kt → 8202.7559055047 ft/s

We conclude that 4860 knots is equivalent to 8202.7559055047 feet per second:

4860 knots = 8202.7559055047 feet per second

Alternative conversion
