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 27.2 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 27.2 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
27.2 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 27.2 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 16.115559395262 kt
The final result is:
27.2 ft/s → 16.115559395262 kt
We conclude that 27.2 feet per second is equivalent to 16.115559395262 knots:
27.2 feet per second = 16.115559395262 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.062051832981608 × 27.2 feet per second.
Another way is saying that 27.2 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.062051832981608 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that twenty-seven point two feet per second is approximately sixteen point one one six knots:
27.2 ft/s ≅ 16.116 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero six two times twenty-seven point two feet per second.
