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 6985 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 6985 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

6985 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 6985 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4138.4993520554 kt

The final result is:

6985 ft/s → 4138.4993520554 kt

We conclude that 6985 feet per second is equivalent to 4138.4993520554 knots:

6985 feet per second = 4138.4993520554 knots

Alternative conversion
