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 686 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 686 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

686 ft/s → V(kt)

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

V(kt) = 686 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V(kt) = 406.44388768934 kt

The final result is:

686 ft/s → 406.44388768934 kt

We conclude that 686 feet per second is equivalent to 406.44388768934 knots:

686 feet per second = 406.44388768934 knots
