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 9808 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 9808 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

9808 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 9808 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 5811.0811231152 kt

The final result is:

9808 ft/s → 5811.0811231152 kt

We conclude that 9808 feet per second is equivalent to 5811.0811231152 knots:

9808 feet per second = 5811.0811231152 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00017208501805666 × 9808 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 9808 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00017208501805666 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that nine thousand eight hundred eight feet per second is approximately five thousand eight hundred eleven point zero eight one knots:

9808 ft/s ≅ 5811.081 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero times nine thousand eight hundred eight feet per second.
