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 5168 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5168 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

5168 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5168 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8722.6013414914 ft/s

The final result is:

5168 kt → 8722.6013414914 ft/s

We conclude that 5168 knots is equivalent to 8722.6013414914 feet per second:
