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 4.5 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 4.5 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
4.5 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 4.5 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 2.6661771058338 kt
The final result is:
4.5 ft/s → 2.6661771058338 kt
We conclude that 4.5 feet per second is equivalent to 2.6661771058338 knots:
4.5 feet per second = 2.6661771058338 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.37506885713327 × 4.5 feet per second.
Another way is saying that 4.5 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.37506885713327 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that four point five feet per second is approximately two point six six six knots:
4.5 ft/s ≅ 2.666 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point three seven five times four point five feet per second.
