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 5930 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5930 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

5930 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5930 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3513.4289416877 kt

The final result is:

5930 ft/s → 3513.4289416877 kt

We conclude that 5930 feet per second is equivalent to 3513.4289416877 knots:

5930 feet per second = 3513.4289416877 knots
