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 8004 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8004 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

8004 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8004 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4742.2403455765 kt

The final result is:

8004 ft/s → 4742.2403455765 kt

We conclude that 8004 feet per second is equivalent to 4742.2403455765 knots:

8004 feet per second = 4742.2403455765 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0002108707967391 × 8004 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 8004 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0002108707967391 knots.

Approximate result

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

8004 ft/s ≅ 4742.24 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero times eight thousand four feet per second.
