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 85.1 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 85.1 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
85.1 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 85.1 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 50.420371490324 kt
The final result is:
85.1 ft/s → 50.420371490324 kt
We conclude that 85.1 feet per second is equivalent to 50.420371490324 knots:
85.1 feet per second = 50.420371490324 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.019833253314921 × 85.1 feet per second.
Another way is saying that 85.1 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.019833253314921 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eighty-five point one feet per second is approximately fifty point four two knots:
85.1 ft/s ≅ 50.42 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero two times eighty-five point one feet per second.
