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 5986 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5986 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

5986 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5986 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3546.6080345603 kt

The final result is:

5986 ft/s → 3546.6080345603 kt

We conclude that 5986 feet per second is equivalent to 3546.6080345603 knots:

5986 feet per second = 3546.6080345603 knots

Alternative conversion
