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 5948 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5948 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

5948 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5948 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 10039.093030029 ft/s

The final result is:

5948 kt → 10039.093030029 ft/s

We conclude that 5948 knots is equivalent to 10039.093030029 feet per second:

5948 knots = 10039.093030029 feet per second
