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 5135 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5135 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

5135 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5135 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8666.9036162072 ft/s

The final result is:

5135 kt → 8666.9036162072 ft/s

We conclude that 5135 knots is equivalent to 8666.9036162072 feet per second:

5135 knots = 8666.9036162072 feet per second
