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 40.8 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 40.8 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
40.8 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 40.8 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 24.173339092893 kt
The final result is:
40.8 ft/s → 24.173339092893 kt
We conclude that 40.8 feet per second is equivalent to 24.173339092893 knots:
40.8 feet per second = 24.173339092893 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.041367888654405 × 40.8 feet per second.
Another way is saying that 40.8 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.041367888654405 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that forty point eight feet per second is approximately twenty-four point one seven three knots:
40.8 ft/s ≅ 24.173 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero four one times forty point eight feet per second.
