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 13.8 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 13.8 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

13.8 ft/s → V(kt)

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

V(kt) = 13.8 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V(kt) = 8.1762764578904 kt

The final result is:

13.8 ft/s → 8.1762764578904 kt

We conclude that 13.8 feet per second is equivalent to 8.1762764578904 knots:

13.8 feet per second = 8.1762764578904 knots

Alternative conversion
