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 116 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 116 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

116 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 116 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 68.728120950383 kt

The final result is:

116 ft/s → 68.728120950383 kt

We conclude that 116 feet per second is equivalent to 68.728120950383 knots:

116 feet per second = 68.728120950383 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.014550084974998 × 116 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 116 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.014550084974998 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one hundred sixteen feet per second is approximately sixty-eight point seven two eight knots:

116 ft/s ≅ 68.728 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero one five times one hundred sixteen feet per second.
