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 7142 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 7142 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

7142 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 7142 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4231.5193088589 kt

The final result is:

7142 ft/s → 4231.5193088589 kt

We conclude that 7142 feet per second is equivalent to 4231.5193088589 knots:
