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 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 59 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 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 59 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 99.580781568885 ft/s
The final result is:
59 kt → 99.580781568885 ft/s
We conclude that 59 knots is equivalent to 99.580781568885 feet per second:
59 knots = 99.580781568885 feet per second
