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 4948 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 4948 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

4948 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 4948 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2931.6098488146 kt

The final result is:

4948 ft/s → 2931.6098488146 kt

We conclude that 4948 feet per second is equivalent to 2931.6098488146 knots:

4948 feet per second = 2931.6098488146 knots

Alternative conversion
