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 5900 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5900 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
5900 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 5900 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 9958.0781568885 ft/s
The final result is:
5900 kt → 9958.0781568885 ft/s
We conclude that 5900 knots is equivalent to 9958.0781568885 feet per second:
