1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 5877 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5877 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

5877 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5877 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3482.027300219 kt

The final result is:

5877 ft/s → 3482.027300219 kt

We conclude that 5877 feet per second is equivalent to 3482.027300219 knots:

5877 feet per second = 3482.027300219 knots
