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 729 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 729 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

729 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 729 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 431.92069114508 kt

The final result is:

729 ft/s → 431.92069114508 kt

We conclude that 729 feet per second is equivalent to 431.92069114508 knots:

729 feet per second = 431.92069114508 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0023152398588474 × 729 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 729 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0023152398588474 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that seven hundred twenty-nine feet per second is approximately four hundred thirty-one point nine two one knots:

729 ft/s ≅ 431.921 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero two times seven hundred twenty-nine feet per second.
