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 7160 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 7160 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

7160 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 7160 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4242.1840172823 kt

The final result is:

7160 ft/s → 4242.1840172823 kt

We conclude that 7160 feet per second is equivalent to 4242.1840172823 knots:

7160 feet per second = 4242.1840172823 knots

Alternative conversion
