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 4937 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4937 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

4937 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4937 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8332.7172645014 ft/s

The final result is:

4937 kt → 8332.7172645014 ft/s

We conclude that 4937 knots is equivalent to 8332.7172645014 feet per second:
