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 59.9 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 59.9 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
59.9 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 59.9 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 101.09981044027 ft/s
The final result is:
59.9 kt → 101.09981044027 ft/s
We conclude that 59.9 knots is equivalent to 101.09981044027 feet per second:
59.9 knots = 101.09981044027 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 0.0098912153805744 × 59.9 knots.
Another way is saying that 59.9 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0098912153805744 feet per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that fifty-nine point nine knots is approximately one hundred one point one feet per second:
59.9 kt ≅ 101.1 ft/s
An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero one times fifty-nine point nine knots.
