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 55.3 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 55.3 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

55.3 ft/s → V(kt)

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

V(kt) = 55.3 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V(kt) = 32.764354211691 kt

The final result is:

55.3 ft/s → 32.764354211691 kt

We conclude that 55.3 feet per second is equivalent to 32.764354211691 knots:

55.3 feet per second = 32.764354211691 knots
