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 5916 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5916 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

5916 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5916 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 9985.083114602 ft/s

The final result is:

5916 kt → 9985.083114602 ft/s

We conclude that 5916 knots is equivalent to 9985.083114602 feet per second:

5916 knots = 9985.083114602 feet per second
