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 5401 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5401 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

5401 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5401 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 9115.8610381957 ft/s

The final result is:

5401 kt → 9115.8610381957 ft/s

We conclude that 5401 knots is equivalent to 9115.8610381957 feet per second:

5401 knots = 9115.8610381957 feet per second
