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 6873 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 6873 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

6873 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 6873 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4072.1411663102 kt

The final result is:

6873 ft/s → 4072.1411663102 kt

We conclude that 6873 feet per second is equivalent to 4072.1411663102 knots:

6873 feet per second = 4072.1411663102 knots

Alternative conversion
