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 5.6 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5.6 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

5.6 kt → V(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V(ft/s) = 5.6 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V(ft/s) = 9.4517351997585 ft/s

The final result is:

5.6 kt → 9.4517351997585 ft/s

We conclude that 5.6 knots is equivalent to 9.4517351997585 feet per second:

5.6 knots = 9.4517351997585 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 0.10580067880293 × 5.6 knots.

Another way is saying that 5.6 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.10580067880293 feet per second.

Approximate result

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

5.6 kt ≅ 9.452 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point one zero six times five point six knots.
