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 71.5 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 71.5 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
71.5 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 71.5 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 42.362591792693 kt
The final result is:
71.5 ft/s → 42.362591792693 kt
We conclude that 71.5 feet per second is equivalent to 42.362591792693 knots:
71.5 feet per second = 42.362591792693 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.023605732267129 × 71.5 feet per second.
Another way is saying that 71.5 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.023605732267129 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that seventy-one point five feet per second is approximately forty-two point three six three knots:
71.5 ft/s ≅ 42.363 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero two four times seventy-one point five feet per second.
