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 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 40 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 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 40 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 23.699352051856 kt
The final result is:
40 ft/s → 23.699352051856 kt
We conclude that 40 feet per second is equivalent to 23.699352051856 knots:
40 feet per second = 23.699352051856 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.042195246427493 × 40 feet per second.
Another way is saying that 40 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.042195246427493 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that forty feet per second is approximately twenty-three point six nine nine knots:
40 ft/s ≅ 23.699 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero four two times forty feet per second.
