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 5108 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5108 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

5108 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5108 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8621.3327500655 ft/s

The final result is:

5108 kt → 8621.3327500655 ft/s

We conclude that 5108 knots is equivalent to 8621.3327500655 feet per second:

5108 knots = 8621.3327500655 feet per second

Alternative conversion
