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 8723 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8723 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

8723 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8723 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 5168.2361987086 kt

The final result is:

8723 ft/s → 5168.2361987086 kt

We conclude that 8723 feet per second is equivalent to 5168.2361987086 knots:

8723 feet per second = 5168.2361987086 knots

Alternative conversion
