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 856 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 856 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
856 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 856 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 507.16613390973 kt
The final result is:
856 ft/s → 507.16613390973 kt
We conclude that 856 feet per second is equivalent to 507.16613390973 knots:
856 feet per second = 507.16613390973 knots
Alternative conversion
