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 7140 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 7140 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

7140 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 7140 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4230.3343412564 kt

The final result is:

7140 ft/s → 4230.3343412564 kt

We conclude that 7140 feet per second is equivalent to 4230.3343412564 knots:

7140 feet per second = 4230.3343412564 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00023638793516803 × 7140 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 7140 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00023638793516803 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that seven thousand one hundred forty feet per second is approximately four thousand two hundred thirty point three three four knots:

7140 ft/s ≅ 4230.334 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero times seven thousand one hundred forty feet per second.
