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 23.9 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 23.9 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
23.9 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 23.9 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 40.338655584684 ft/s
The final result is:
23.9 kt → 40.338655584684 ft/s
We conclude that 23.9 knots is equivalent to 40.338655584684 feet per second:
23.9 knots = 40.338655584684 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 0.024790117209055 × 23.9 knots.
Another way is saying that 23.9 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.024790117209055 feet per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that twenty-three point nine knots is approximately forty point three three nine feet per second:
23.9 kt ≅ 40.339 ft/s
An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero two five times twenty-three point nine knots.
