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 4.2 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 4.2 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
4.2 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 4.2 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 2.4884319654449 kt
The final result is:
4.2 ft/s → 2.4884319654449 kt
We conclude that 4.2 feet per second is equivalent to 2.4884319654449 knots:
4.2 feet per second = 2.4884319654449 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.40185948978565 × 4.2 feet per second.
Another way is saying that 4.2 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.40185948978565 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that four point two feet per second is approximately two point four eight eight knots:
4.2 ft/s ≅ 2.488 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point four zero two times four point two feet per second.
