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 5711 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5711 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

5711 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5711 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 9639.0820938966 ft/s

The final result is:

5711 kt → 9639.0820938966 ft/s

We conclude that 5711 knots is equivalent to 9639.0820938966 feet per second:
