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 50.5 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 50.5 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
50.5 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 50.5 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 29.920431965469 kt
The final result is:
50.5 ft/s → 29.920431965469 kt
We conclude that 50.5 feet per second is equivalent to 29.920431965469 knots:
50.5 feet per second = 29.920431965469 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.033421977368312 × 50.5 feet per second.
Another way is saying that 50.5 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.033421977368312 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that fifty point five feet per second is approximately twenty-nine point nine two knots:
50.5 ft/s ≅ 29.92 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero three three times fifty point five feet per second.
