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 5785 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5785 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

5785 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5785 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3427.5187904997 kt

The final result is:

5785 ft/s → 3427.5187904997 kt

We conclude that 5785 feet per second is equivalent to 3427.5187904997 knots:

5785 feet per second = 3427.5187904997 knots
