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 5123 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5123 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

5123 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5123 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8646.649897922 ft/s

The final result is:

5123 kt → 8646.649897922 ft/s

We conclude that 5123 knots is equivalent to 8646.649897922 feet per second:
