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 9760 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 9760 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

9760 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 9760 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 5782.6419006529 kt

The final result is:

9760 ft/s → 5782.6419006529 kt

We conclude that 9760 feet per second is equivalent to 5782.6419006529 knots:

9760 feet per second = 5782.6419006529 knots
