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 5058 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5058 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

5058 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5058 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8536.9422572105 ft/s

The final result is:

5058 kt → 8536.9422572105 ft/s

We conclude that 5058 knots is equivalent to 8536.9422572105 feet per second:

5058 knots = 8536.9422572105 feet per second
