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 27.4 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 27.4 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
27.4 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 27.4 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 16.234056155522 kt
The final result is:
27.4 ft/s → 16.234056155522 kt
We conclude that 27.4 feet per second is equivalent to 16.234056155522 knots:
27.4 feet per second = 16.234056155522 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.061598899894151 × 27.4 feet per second.
Another way is saying that 27.4 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.061598899894151 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that twenty-seven point four feet per second is approximately sixteen point two three four knots:
27.4 ft/s ≅ 16.234 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero six two times twenty-seven point four feet per second.
