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 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 87 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 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 87 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 51.546090712788 kt
The final result is:
87 ft/s → 51.546090712788 kt
We conclude that 87 feet per second is equivalent to 51.546090712788 knots:
87 feet per second = 51.546090712788 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.019400113299997 × 87 feet per second.
Another way is saying that 87 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.019400113299997 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eighty-seven feet per second is approximately fifty-one point five four six knots:
87 ft/s ≅ 51.546 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero one nine times eighty-seven feet per second.
