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 5939 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5939 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

5939 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5939 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 10023.902741315 ft/s

The final result is:

5939 kt → 10023.902741315 ft/s

We conclude that 5939 knots is equivalent to 10023.902741315 feet per second:

5939 knots = 10023.902741315 feet per second
