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 6240 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 6240 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

6240 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 6240 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3697.0989200896 kt

The final result is:

6240 ft/s → 3697.0989200896 kt

We conclude that 6240 feet per second is equivalent to 3697.0989200896 knots:

6240 feet per second = 3697.0989200896 knots

Alternative conversion
