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 5901 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5901 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

5901 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5901 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3496.2469114501 kt

The final result is:

5901 ft/s → 3496.2469114501 kt

We conclude that 5901 feet per second is equivalent to 3496.2469114501 knots:

5901 feet per second = 3496.2469114501 knots

Alternative conversion
