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 6856 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 6856 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

6856 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 6856 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4062.0689416882 kt

The final result is:

6856 ft/s → 4062.0689416882 kt

We conclude that 6856 feet per second is equivalent to 4062.0689416882 knots:

6856 feet per second = 4062.0689416882 knots

Alternative conversion
