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 9938 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 9938 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

9938 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 9938 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 5888.1040172837 kt

The final result is:

9938 ft/s → 5888.1040172837 kt

We conclude that 9938 feet per second is equivalent to 5888.1040172837 knots:

9938 feet per second = 5888.1040172837 knots
