Conversion formula
The conversion factor from knots to feet per second is 1.6878098570997, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.6878098570997 feet per second:
1 kt = 1.6878098570997 ft/s
To convert 9.9 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 9.9 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:
1 kt → 1.6878098570997 ft/s
9.9 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 9.9 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 16.709317585287 ft/s
The final result is:
9.9 kt → 16.709317585287 ft/s
We conclude that 9.9 knots is equivalent to 16.709317585287 feet per second:
9.9 knots = 16.709317585287 feet per second
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.059846848615799 × 9.9 knots.
Another way is saying that 9.9 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.059846848615799 feet per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that nine point nine knots is approximately sixteen point seven zero nine feet per second:
9.9 kt ≅ 16.709 ft/s
An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero six times nine point nine knots.
