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 9740 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 9740 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

9740 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 9740 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 5770.792224627 kt

The final result is:

9740 ft/s → 5770.792224627 kt

We conclude that 9740 feet per second is equivalent to 5770.792224627 knots:

9740 feet per second = 5770.792224627 knots

Alternative conversion
