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 5135 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5135 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

5135 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5135 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3042.4043196571 kt

The final result is:

5135 ft/s → 3042.4043196571 kt

We conclude that 5135 feet per second is equivalent to 3042.4043196571 knots:

5135 feet per second = 3042.4043196571 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00032868741131446 × 5135 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 5135 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00032868741131446 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five thousand one hundred thirty-five feet per second is approximately three thousand forty-two point four zero four knots:

5135 ft/s ≅ 3042.404 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero times five thousand one hundred thirty-five feet per second.
