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 8040 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8040 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

8040 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8040 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4763.5697624231 kt

The final result is:

8040 ft/s → 4763.5697624231 kt

We conclude that 8040 feet per second is equivalent to 4763.5697624231 knots:

8040 feet per second = 4763.5697624231 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00020992659914176 × 8040 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 8040 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00020992659914176 knots.

Approximate result

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

8040 ft/s ≅ 4763.57 kt

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