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 5140 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5140 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

5140 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5140 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8675.3426654926 ft/s

The final result is:

5140 kt → 8675.3426654926 ft/s

We conclude that 5140 knots is equivalent to 8675.3426654926 feet per second:

5140 knots = 8675.3426654926 feet per second
