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 311 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 311 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

311 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 311 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 184.26246220318 kt

The final result is:

311 ft/s → 184.26246220318 kt

We conclude that 311 feet per second is equivalent to 184.26246220318 knots:

311 feet per second = 184.26246220318 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0054270413411567 × 311 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 311 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0054270413411567 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that three hundred eleven feet per second is approximately one hundred eighty-four point two six two knots:

311 ft/s ≅ 184.262 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero five times three hundred eleven feet per second.
