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 5950 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5950 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

5950 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5950 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 10042.468649743 ft/s

The final result is:

5950 kt → 10042.468649743 ft/s

We conclude that 5950 knots is equivalent to 10042.468649743 feet per second:

5950 knots = 10042.468649743 feet per second
