Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to feet per second is 1.6878098570997, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.6878098570997 feet per second:

1 kt = 1.6878098570997 ft/s

To convert 9836 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 9836 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.6878098570997 ft/s

9836 kt → V_(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V_(ft/s) = 9836 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 16601.297754433 ft/s

The final result is:

9836 kt → 16601.297754433 ft/s

We conclude that 9836 knots is equivalent to 16601.297754433 feet per second:

9836 knots = 16601.297754433 feet per second

Alternative conversion
