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 4960 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4960 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

4960 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4960 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8371.5368912147 ft/s

The final result is:

4960 kt → 8371.5368912147 ft/s

We conclude that 4960 knots is equivalent to 8371.5368912147 feet per second:

4960 knots = 8371.5368912147 feet per second
