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 492 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 492 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

492 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 492 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 291.50203023783 kt

The final result is:

492 ft/s → 291.50203023783 kt

We conclude that 492 feet per second is equivalent to 291.50203023783 knots:

492 feet per second = 291.50203023783 knots

Alternative conversion
