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 5815 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5815 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

5815 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5815 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 9814.614319035 ft/s

The final result is:

5815 kt → 9814.614319035 ft/s

We conclude that 5815 knots is equivalent to 9814.614319035 feet per second:

5815 knots = 9814.614319035 feet per second
