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 855 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 855 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

855 ft/s → V(kt)

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

V(kt) = 855 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V(kt) = 506.57365010843 kt

The final result is:

855 ft/s → 506.57365010843 kt

We conclude that 855 feet per second is equivalent to 506.57365010843 knots:
