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 15.7 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 15.7 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
15.7 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 15.7 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 9.3019956803536 kt
The final result is:
15.7 ft/s → 9.3019956803536 kt
We conclude that 15.7 feet per second is equivalent to 9.3019956803536 knots:
15.7 feet per second = 9.3019956803536 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.10750381255412 × 15.7 feet per second.
Another way is saying that 15.7 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.10750381255412 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that fifteen point seven feet per second is approximately nine point three zero two knots:
15.7 ft/s ≅ 9.302 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point one zero eight times fifteen point seven feet per second.
