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 34.6 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 34.6 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

34.6 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 34.6 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 58.398221055651 ft/s

The final result is:

34.6 kt → 58.398221055651 ft/s

We conclude that 34.6 knots is equivalent to 58.398221055651 feet per second:

34.6 knots = 58.398221055651 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 0.017123809286023 × 34.6 knots.

Another way is saying that 34.6 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.017123809286023 feet per second.

Approximate result

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

34.6 kt ≅ 58.398 ft/s

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