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 70.8 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 70.8 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

70.8 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 70.8 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 41.947853131786 kt

The final result is:

70.8 ft/s → 41.947853131786 kt

We conclude that 70.8 feet per second is equivalent to 41.947853131786 knots:

70.8 feet per second = 41.947853131786 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.02383912227542 × 70.8 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 70.8 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.02383912227542 knots.

Approximate result

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

70.8 ft/s ≅ 41.948 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero two four times seventy point eight feet per second.
