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 28.4 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 28.4 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
28.4 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 28.4 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 16.826539956818 kt
The final result is:
28.4 ft/s → 16.826539956818 kt
We conclude that 28.4 feet per second is equivalent to 16.826539956818 knots:
28.4 feet per second = 16.826539956818 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.059429924545765 × 28.4 feet per second.
Another way is saying that 28.4 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.059429924545765 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that twenty-eight point four feet per second is approximately sixteen point eight two seven knots:
28.4 ft/s ≅ 16.827 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero five nine times twenty-eight point four feet per second.
