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 578 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 578 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

578 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 578 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 342.45563714932 kt

The final result is:

578 ft/s → 342.45563714932 kt

We conclude that 578 feet per second is equivalent to 342.45563714932 knots:

578 feet per second = 342.45563714932 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.002920086257958 × 578 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 578 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.002920086257958 knots.

Approximate result

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

578 ft/s ≅ 342.456 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero three times five hundred seventy-eight feet per second.
