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 5600 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5600 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

5600 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5600 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 9451.7351997585 ft/s

The final result is:

5600 kt → 9451.7351997585 ft/s

We conclude that 5600 knots is equivalent to 9451.7351997585 feet per second:

5600 knots = 9451.7351997585 feet per second

Alternative conversion
