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 5224 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5224 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

5224 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5224 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8817.118693489 ft/s

The final result is:

5224 kt → 8817.118693489 ft/s

We conclude that 5224 knots is equivalent to 8817.118693489 feet per second:

5224 knots = 8817.118693489 feet per second
