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 79.4 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 79.4 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
79.4 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 79.4 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 47.043213822935 kt
The final result is:
79.4 ft/s → 47.043213822935 kt
We conclude that 79.4 feet per second is equivalent to 47.043213822935 knots:
79.4 feet per second = 47.043213822935 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.021257051096974 × 79.4 feet per second.
Another way is saying that 79.4 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.021257051096974 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that seventy-nine point four feet per second is approximately forty-seven point zero four three knots:
79.4 ft/s ≅ 47.043 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero two one times seventy-nine point four feet per second.
