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 7942 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 7942 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

7942 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 7942 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4705.5063498961 kt

The final result is:

7942 ft/s → 4705.5063498961 kt

We conclude that 7942 feet per second is equivalent to 4705.5063498961 knots:
