Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to feet per second is 1.6878098570997, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.6878098570997 feet per second:

1 kt = 1.6878098570997 ft/s

To convert 56 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 56 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.6878098570997 ft/s

56 kt → V_(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V_(ft/s) = 56 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 94.517351997585 ft/s

The final result is:

56 kt → 94.517351997585 ft/s

We conclude that 56 knots is equivalent to 94.517351997585 feet per second:

56 knots = 94.517351997585 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.010580067880293 × 56 knots.

Another way is saying that 56 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.010580067880293 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that fifty-six knots is approximately ninety-four point five one seven feet per second:

56 kt ≅ 94.517 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero one one times fifty-six knots.
