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 5317 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5317 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

5317 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5317 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8974.0850101993 ft/s

The final result is:

5317 kt → 8974.0850101993 ft/s

We conclude that 5317 knots is equivalent to 8974.0850101993 feet per second:

5317 knots = 8974.0850101993 feet per second
