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 50.7 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 50.7 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

50.7 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 50.7 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 30.038928725728 kt

The final result is:

50.7 ft/s → 30.038928725728 kt

We conclude that 50.7 feet per second is equivalent to 30.038928725728 knots:

50.7 feet per second = 30.038928725728 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.033290135248516 × 50.7 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 50.7 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.033290135248516 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that fifty point seven feet per second is approximately thirty point zero three nine knots:

50.7 ft/s ≅ 30.039 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero three three times fifty point seven feet per second.
