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 87.4 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 87.4 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
87.4 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 87.4 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 51.783084233306 kt
The final result is:
87.4 ft/s → 51.783084233306 kt
We conclude that 87.4 feet per second is equivalent to 51.783084233306 knots:
87.4 feet per second = 51.783084233306 knots
Alternative conversion
