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 42.6 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 42.6 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

42.6 ft/s → V(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V(kt) = 42.6 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V(kt) = 25.239809935227 kt

The final result is:

42.6 ft/s → 25.239809935227 kt

We conclude that 42.6 feet per second is equivalent to 25.239809935227 knots:

42.6 feet per second = 25.239809935227 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.039619949697177 × 42.6 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 42.6 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.039619949697177 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that forty-two point six feet per second is approximately twenty-five point two four knots:

42.6 ft/s ≅ 25.24 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero four times forty-two point six feet per second.
