Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to feet per second is 1.6878098570997, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.6878098570997 feet per second:

1 kt = 1.6878098570997 ft/s

To convert 33.6 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 33.6 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.6878098570997 ft/s

33.6 kt → V_(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V_(ft/s) = 33.6 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 56.710411198551 ft/s

The final result is:

33.6 kt → 56.710411198551 ft/s

We conclude that 33.6 knots is equivalent to 56.710411198551 feet per second:

33.6 knots = 56.710411198551 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.017633446467155 × 33.6 knots.

Another way is saying that 33.6 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.017633446467155 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that thirty-three point six knots is approximately fifty-six point seven one feet per second:

33.6 kt ≅ 56.71 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero one eight times thirty-three point six knots.
