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 5743 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5743 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

5743 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5743 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3402.6344708453 kt

The final result is:

5743 ft/s → 3402.6344708453 kt

We conclude that 5743 feet per second is equivalent to 3402.6344708453 knots:

5743 feet per second = 3402.6344708453 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00029388992810373 × 5743 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 5743 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00029388992810373 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five thousand seven hundred forty-three feet per second is approximately three thousand four hundred two point six three four knots:

5743 ft/s ≅ 3402.634 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero times five thousand seven hundred forty-three feet per second.
