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 10 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 10 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
10 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 10 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 5.9248380129641 kt
The final result is:
10 ft/s → 5.9248380129641 kt
We conclude that 10 feet per second is equivalent to 5.9248380129641 knots:
10 feet per second = 5.9248380129641 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.16878098570997 × 10 feet per second.
Another way is saying that 10 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.16878098570997 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that ten feet per second is approximately five point nine two five knots:
10 ft/s ≅ 5.925 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point one six nine times ten feet per second.
