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 7042 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 7042 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

7042 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 7042 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4172.2709287293 kt

The final result is:

7042 ft/s → 4172.2709287293 kt

We conclude that 7042 feet per second is equivalent to 4172.2709287293 knots:

7042 feet per second = 4172.2709287293 knots

Alternative conversion
