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 9730 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 9730 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

9730 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 9730 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 5764.8673866141 kt

The final result is:

9730 ft/s → 5764.8673866141 kt

We conclude that 9730 feet per second is equivalent to 5764.8673866141 knots:

9730 feet per second = 5764.8673866141 knots

Alternative conversion
