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 34.9 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 34.9 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

34.9 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 34.9 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 58.904564012781 ft/s

The final result is:

34.9 kt → 58.904564012781 ft/s

We conclude that 34.9 knots is equivalent to 58.904564012781 feet per second:

34.9 knots = 58.904564012781 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 0.016976613217662 × 34.9 knots.

Another way is saying that 34.9 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.016976613217662 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 nine knots is approximately fifty-eight point nine zero five feet per second:

34.9 kt ≅ 58.905 ft/s

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