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 5800 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5800 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

5800 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5800 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 9789.2971711785 ft/s

The final result is:

5800 kt → 9789.2971711785 ft/s

We conclude that 5800 knots is equivalent to 9789.2971711785 feet per second:

5800 knots = 9789.2971711785 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.00010215237953386 × 5800 knots.

Another way is saying that 5800 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00010215237953386 feet per second.

Approximate result

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

5800 kt ≅ 9789.297 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero times five thousand eight hundred knots.
