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 8138 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8138 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

8138 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8138 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4821.6331749502 kt

The final result is:

8138 ft/s → 4821.6331749502 kt

We conclude that 8138 feet per second is equivalent to 4821.6331749502 knots:

8138 feet per second = 4821.6331749502 knots

Alternative conversion
