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 16.3 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 16.3 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

16.3 ft/s → V(kt)

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

V(kt) = 16.3 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V(kt) = 9.6574859611315 kt

The final result is:

16.3 ft/s → 9.6574859611315 kt

We conclude that 16.3 feet per second is equivalent to 9.6574859611315 knots:

16.3 feet per second = 9.6574859611315 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.10354661699998 × 16.3 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 16.3 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.10354661699998 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that sixteen point three feet per second is approximately nine point six five seven knots:

16.3 ft/s ≅ 9.657 kt

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