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 359 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 359 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

359 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 359 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 212.70168466541 kt

The final result is:

359 ft/s → 212.70168466541 kt

We conclude that 359 feet per second is equivalent to 212.70168466541 knots:

359 feet per second = 212.70168466541 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0047014202147625 × 359 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 359 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0047014202147625 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that three hundred fifty-nine feet per second is approximately two hundred twelve point seven zero two knots:

359 ft/s ≅ 212.702 kt

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