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 4.6 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 4.6 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
4.6 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 4.6 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 2.7254254859635 kt
The final result is:
4.6 ft/s → 2.7254254859635 kt
We conclude that 4.6 feet per second is equivalent to 2.7254254859635 knots:
4.6 feet per second = 2.7254254859635 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.36691518632603 × 4.6 feet per second.
Another way is saying that 4.6 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.36691518632603 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that four point six feet per second is approximately two point seven two five knots:
4.6 ft/s ≅ 2.725 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point three six seven times four point six feet per second.
