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 5937 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5937 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

5937 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5937 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 10020.527121601 ft/s

The final result is:

5937 kt → 10020.527121601 ft/s

We conclude that 5937 knots is equivalent to 10020.527121601 feet per second:

5937 knots = 10020.527121601 feet per second
