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 5160 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5160 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

5160 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5160 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8709.0988626346 ft/s

The final result is:

5160 kt → 8709.0988626346 ft/s

We conclude that 5160 knots is equivalent to 8709.0988626346 feet per second:

5160 knots = 8709.0988626346 feet per second
