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 98.9 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 98.9 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
98.9 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 98.9 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 58.596647948215 kt
The final result is:
98.9 ft/s → 58.596647948215 kt
We conclude that 98.9 feet per second is equivalent to 58.596647948215 knots:
98.9 feet per second = 58.596647948215 knots
