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 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 34 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 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 34 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 57.385535141391 ft/s

The final result is:

34 kt → 57.385535141391 ft/s

We conclude that 34 knots is equivalent to 57.385535141391 feet per second:

34 knots = 57.385535141391 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 0.017425994155777 × 34 knots.

Another way is saying that 34 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.017425994155777 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 knots is approximately fifty-seven point three eight six feet per second:

34 kt ≅ 57.386 ft/s

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