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 83.5 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 83.5 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
83.5 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 83.5 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 49.47239740825 kt
The final result is:
83.5 ft/s → 49.47239740825 kt
We conclude that 83.5 feet per second is equivalent to 49.47239740825 knots:
83.5 feet per second = 49.47239740825 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.020213291701793 × 83.5 feet per second.
Another way is saying that 83.5 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.020213291701793 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eighty-three point five feet per second is approximately forty-nine point four seven two knots:
83.5 ft/s ≅ 49.472 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero two times eighty-three point five feet per second.
