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 5240 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5240 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
5240 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 5240 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 8844.1236512026 ft/s
The final result is:
5240 kt → 8844.1236512026 ft/s
We conclude that 5240 knots is equivalent to 8844.1236512026 feet per second:
