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 516.9 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 516.9 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

516.9 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 516.9 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 306.25487689011 kt

The final result is:

516.9 ft/s → 306.25487689011 kt

We conclude that 516.9 feet per second is equivalent to 306.25487689011 knots:

516.9 feet per second = 306.25487689011 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0032652541247818 × 516.9 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 516.9 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0032652541247818 knots.

Approximate result

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

516.9 ft/s ≅ 306.255 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero three times five hundred sixteen point nine feet per second.
