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 4987 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 4987 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

4987 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 4987 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2954.7167170652 kt

The final result is:

4987 ft/s → 2954.7167170652 kt

We conclude that 4987 feet per second is equivalent to 2954.7167170652 knots:

4987 feet per second = 2954.7167170652 knots

Alternative conversion
