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 5210 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5210 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

5210 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5210 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3086.8406047543 kt

The final result is:

5210 ft/s → 3086.8406047543 kt

We conclude that 5210 feet per second is equivalent to 3086.8406047543 knots:

5210 feet per second = 3086.8406047543 knots

Alternative conversion
