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 3.1 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 3.1 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
3.1 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 3.1 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 1.8366997840189 kt
The final result is:
3.1 ft/s → 1.8366997840189 kt
We conclude that 3.1 feet per second is equivalent to 1.8366997840189 knots:
3.1 feet per second = 1.8366997840189 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.54445479261282 × 3.1 feet per second.
Another way is saying that 3.1 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.54445479261282 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that three point one feet per second is approximately one point eight three seven knots:
3.1 ft/s ≅ 1.837 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point five four four times three point one feet per second.
