Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to feet per second is 1.6878098570997, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.6878098570997 feet per second:

1 kt = 1.6878098570997 ft/s

To convert 18.9 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 18.9 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.6878098570997 ft/s

18.9 kt → V_(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V_(ft/s) = 18.9 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 31.899606299185 ft/s

The final result is:

18.9 kt → 31.899606299185 ft/s

We conclude that 18.9 knots is equivalent to 31.899606299185 feet per second:

18.9 knots = 31.899606299185 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.031348349274942 × 18.9 knots.

Another way is saying that 18.9 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.031348349274942 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eighteen point nine knots is approximately thirty-one point nine feet per second:

18.9 kt ≅ 31.9 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero three one times eighteen point nine knots.
