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 5887 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5887 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

5887 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5887 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3487.952138232 kt

The final result is:

5887 ft/s → 3487.952138232 kt

We conclude that 5887 feet per second is equivalent to 3487.952138232 knots:

5887 feet per second = 3487.952138232 knots
