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 959 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 959 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

959 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 959 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 568.19196544326 kt

The final result is:

959 ft/s → 568.19196544326 kt

We conclude that 959 feet per second is equivalent to 568.19196544326 knots:

959 feet per second = 568.19196544326 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0017599685684043 × 959 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 959 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0017599685684043 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that nine hundred fifty-nine feet per second is approximately five hundred sixty-eight point one nine two knots:

959 ft/s ≅ 568.192 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero two times nine hundred fifty-nine feet per second.
