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 862 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 862 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
862 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 862 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 510.7210367175 kt
The final result is:
862 ft/s → 510.7210367175 kt
We conclude that 862 feet per second is equivalent to 510.7210367175 knots:
862 feet per second = 510.7210367175 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0019580160755217 × 862 feet per second.
Another way is saying that 862 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0019580160755217 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eight hundred sixty-two feet per second is approximately five hundred ten point seven two one knots:
862 ft/s ≅ 510.721 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero two times eight hundred sixty-two feet per second.
