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 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 28 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 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 28 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 16.589546436299 kt
The final result is:
28 ft/s → 16.589546436299 kt
We conclude that 28 feet per second is equivalent to 16.589546436299 knots:
28 feet per second = 16.589546436299 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.060278923467848 × 28 feet per second.
Another way is saying that 28 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.060278923467848 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that twenty-eight feet per second is approximately sixteen point five nine knots:
28 ft/s ≅ 16.59 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero six times twenty-eight feet per second.
