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 87.1 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 87.1 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
87.1 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 87.1 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 51.605339092917 kt
The final result is:
87.1 ft/s → 51.605339092917 kt
We conclude that 87.1 feet per second is equivalent to 51.605339092917 knots:
87.1 feet per second = 51.605339092917 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.019377839920778 × 87.1 feet per second.
Another way is saying that 87.1 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.019377839920778 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eighty-seven point one feet per second is approximately fifty-one point six zero five knots:
87.1 ft/s ≅ 51.605 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero one nine times eighty-seven point one feet per second.
