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 4961 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 4961 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

4961 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 4961 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2939.3121382315 kt

The final result is:

4961 ft/s → 2939.3121382315 kt

We conclude that 4961 feet per second is equivalent to 2939.3121382315 knots:

4961 feet per second = 2939.3121382315 knots
