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 27.7 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 27.7 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
27.7 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 27.7 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 16.411801295911 kt
The final result is:
27.7 ft/s → 16.411801295911 kt
We conclude that 27.7 feet per second is equivalent to 16.411801295911 knots:
27.7 feet per second = 16.411801295911 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.060931763794214 × 27.7 feet per second.
Another way is saying that 27.7 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.060931763794214 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that twenty-seven point seven feet per second is approximately sixteen point four one two knots:
27.7 ft/s ≅ 16.412 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero six one times twenty-seven point seven feet per second.
