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 18 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 18 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

18 ft/s → V(kt)

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

V(kt) = 18 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V(kt) = 10.664708423335 kt

The final result is:

18 ft/s → 10.664708423335 kt

We conclude that 18 feet per second is equivalent to 10.664708423335 knots:

18 feet per second = 10.664708423335 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.093767214283319 × 18 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 18 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.093767214283319 knots.

Approximate result

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

18 ft/s ≅ 10.665 kt

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