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 5817 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5817 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

5817 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5817 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3446.4782721412 kt

The final result is:

5817 ft/s → 3446.4782721412 kt

We conclude that 5817 feet per second is equivalent to 3446.4782721412 knots:

5817 feet per second = 3446.4782721412 knots

Alternative conversion
