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 10.6 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 10.6 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
10.6 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 10.6 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 17.890784485257 ft/s
The final result is:
10.6 kt → 17.890784485257 ft/s
We conclude that 10.6 knots is equivalent to 17.890784485257 feet per second:
10.6 knots = 17.890784485257 feet per second
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.05589469823551 × 10.6 knots.
Another way is saying that 10.6 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.05589469823551 feet per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that ten point six knots is approximately seventeen point eight nine one feet per second:
10.6 kt ≅ 17.891 ft/s
An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero five six times ten point six knots.
