Conversion formula

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 5983 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5983 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

5983 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5983 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3544.8305831564 kt

The final result is:

5983 ft/s → 3544.8305831564 kt

We conclude that 5983 feet per second is equivalent to 3544.8305831564 knots:

5983 feet per second = 3544.8305831564 knots
