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 71.9 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 71.9 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

71.9 ft/s → V(kt)

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

V(kt) = 71.9 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V(kt) = 42.599585313212 kt

The final result is:

71.9 ft/s → 42.599585313212 kt

We conclude that 71.9 feet per second is equivalent to 42.599585313212 knots:

71.9 feet per second = 42.599585313212 knots

Alternative conversion
