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 5836 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5836 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

5836 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5836 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 9850.0583260341 ft/s

The final result is:

5836 kt → 9850.0583260341 ft/s

We conclude that 5836 knots is equivalent to 9850.0583260341 feet per second:
