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 5816 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5816 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

5816 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5816 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 9816.3021288921 ft/s

The final result is:

5816 kt → 9816.3021288921 ft/s

We conclude that 5816 knots is equivalent to 9816.3021288921 feet per second:

5816 knots = 9816.3021288921 feet per second
