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 17.1 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 17.1 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
17.1 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 17.1 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 10.131473002169 kt
The final result is:
17.1 ft/s → 10.131473002169 kt
We conclude that 17.1 feet per second is equivalent to 10.131473002169 knots:
17.1 feet per second = 10.131473002169 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.098702330824546 × 17.1 feet per second.
Another way is saying that 17.1 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.098702330824546 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that seventeen point one feet per second is approximately ten point one three one knots:
17.1 ft/s ≅ 10.131 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero nine nine times seventeen point one feet per second.
