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 5338 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5338 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

5338 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5338 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3162.6785313202 kt

The final result is:

5338 ft/s → 3162.6785313202 kt

We conclude that 5338 feet per second is equivalent to 3162.6785313202 knots:

5338 feet per second = 3162.6785313202 knots

Alternative conversion
