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 4996 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 4996 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

4996 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 4996 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2960.0490712769 kt

The final result is:

4996 ft/s → 2960.0490712769 kt

We conclude that 4996 feet per second is equivalent to 2960.0490712769 knots:

4996 feet per second = 2960.0490712769 knots

Alternative conversion
