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 5685 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5685 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

5685 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5685 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3368.2704103701 kt

The final result is:

5685 ft/s → 3368.2704103701 kt

We conclude that 5685 feet per second is equivalent to 3368.2704103701 knots:

5685 feet per second = 3368.2704103701 knots

Alternative conversion
