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 589 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 589 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

589 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 589 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 348.97295896358 kt

The final result is:

589 ft/s → 348.97295896358 kt

We conclude that 589 feet per second is equivalent to 348.97295896358 knots:

589 feet per second = 348.97295896358 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0028655515400675 × 589 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 589 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0028655515400675 knots.

Approximate result

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

589 ft/s ≅ 348.973 kt

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