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 9916 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 9916 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

9916 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 9916 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 5875.0693736552 kt

The final result is:

9916 ft/s → 5875.0693736552 kt

We conclude that 9916 feet per second is equivalent to 5875.0693736552 knots:

9916 feet per second = 5875.0693736552 knots

Alternative conversion
