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 51.9 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 51.9 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

51.9 ft/s → V(kt)

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

V(kt) = 51.9 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V(kt) = 30.749909287284 kt

The final result is:

51.9 ft/s → 30.749909287284 kt

We conclude that 51.9 feet per second is equivalent to 30.749909287284 knots:

51.9 feet per second = 30.749909287284 knots

Alternative conversion
