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 28.6 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 28.6 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
28.6 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 28.6 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 16.945036717077 kt
The final result is:
28.6 ft/s → 16.945036717077 kt
We conclude that 28.6 feet per second is equivalent to 16.945036717077 knots:
28.6 feet per second = 16.945036717077 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.059014330667823 × 28.6 feet per second.
Another way is saying that 28.6 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.059014330667823 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that twenty-eight point six feet per second is approximately sixteen point nine four five knots:
28.6 ft/s ≅ 16.945 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero five nine times twenty-eight point six feet per second.
