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 20.7 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 20.7 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
20.7 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 20.7 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 34.937664041965 ft/s
The final result is:
20.7 kt → 34.937664041965 ft/s
We conclude that 20.7 knots is equivalent to 34.937664041965 feet per second:
20.7 knots = 34.937664041965 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 0.02862240585973 × 20.7 knots.
Another way is saying that 20.7 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.02862240585973 feet per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that twenty point seven knots is approximately thirty-four point nine three eight feet per second:
20.7 kt ≅ 34.938 ft/s
An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero two nine times twenty point seven knots.
