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 1.6 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1.6 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
1.6 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 1.6 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 0.94797408207425 kt
The final result is:
1.6 ft/s → 0.94797408207425 kt
We conclude that 1.6 feet per second is equivalent to 0.94797408207425 knots:
1.6 feet per second = 0.94797408207425 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 1.0548811606873 × 1.6 feet per second.
Another way is saying that 1.6 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 1.0548811606873 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one point six feet per second is approximately zero point nine four eight knots:
1.6 ft/s ≅ 0.948 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately one point zero five five times one point six feet per second.
