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 5041 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5041 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

5041 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5041 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2986.7108423352 kt

The final result is:

5041 ft/s → 2986.7108423352 kt

We conclude that 5041 feet per second is equivalent to 2986.7108423352 knots:

5041 feet per second = 2986.7108423352 knots

Alternative conversion
