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 6172 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 6172 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

6172 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 6172 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3656.8100216014 kt

The final result is:

6172 ft/s → 3656.8100216014 kt

We conclude that 6172 feet per second is equivalent to 3656.8100216014 knots:

6172 feet per second = 3656.8100216014 knots
