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 5340 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5340 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

5340 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5340 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 9012.9046369126 ft/s

The final result is:

5340 kt → 9012.9046369126 ft/s

We conclude that 5340 knots is equivalent to 9012.9046369126 feet per second:

5340 knots = 9012.9046369126 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.00011095202271468 × 5340 knots.

Another way is saying that 5340 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00011095202271468 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five thousand three hundred forty knots is approximately nine thousand twelve point nine zero five feet per second:

5340 kt ≅ 9012.905 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero times five thousand three hundred forty knots.
