Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to feet per second is 1.6878098570997, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.6878098570997 feet per second:

1 kt = 1.6878098570997 ft/s

To convert 7072 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 7072 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.6878098570997 ft/s

7072 kt → V_(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V_(ft/s) = 7072 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 11936.191309409 ft/s

The final result is:

7072 kt → 11936.191309409 ft/s

We conclude that 7072 knots is equivalent to 11936.191309409 feet per second:

7072 knots = 11936.191309409 feet per second

Alternative conversion
