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 4904 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4904 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

4904 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4904 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8277.0195392171 ft/s

The final result is:

4904 kt → 8277.0195392171 ft/s

We conclude that 4904 knots is equivalent to 8277.0195392171 feet per second:

4904 knots = 8277.0195392171 feet per second

Alternative conversion
