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 5249 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5249 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

5249 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5249 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3109.9474730048 kt

The final result is:

5249 ft/s → 3109.9474730048 kt

We conclude that 5249 feet per second is equivalent to 3109.9474730048 knots:

5249 feet per second = 3109.9474730048 knots

Alternative conversion
