Conversion formula
The conversion factor from knots to feet per second is 1.6878098570997, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.6878098570997 feet per second:
1 kt = 1.6878098570997 ft/s
To convert 49.8 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 49.8 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:
1 kt → 1.6878098570997 ft/s
49.8 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 49.8 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 84.052930883567 ft/s
The final result is:
49.8 kt → 84.052930883567 ft/s
We conclude that 49.8 knots is equivalent to 84.052930883567 feet per second:
49.8 knots = 84.052930883567 feet per second
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.011897265086273 × 49.8 knots.
Another way is saying that 49.8 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.011897265086273 feet per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that forty-nine point eight knots is approximately eighty-four point zero five three feet per second:
49.8 kt ≅ 84.053 ft/s
An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero one two times forty-nine point eight knots.
