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 4946 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4946 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

4946 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4946 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8347.9075532153 ft/s

The final result is:

4946 kt → 8347.9075532153 ft/s

We conclude that 4946 knots is equivalent to 8347.9075532153 feet per second:
