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 8701 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8701 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
8701 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 8701 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 5155.20155508 kt
The final result is:
8701 ft/s → 5155.20155508 kt
We conclude that 8701 feet per second is equivalent to 5155.20155508 knots:
