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 987 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 987 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
987 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 987 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 584.78151187955 kt
The final result is:
987 ft/s → 584.78151187955 kt
We conclude that 987 feet per second is equivalent to 584.78151187955 knots:
987 feet per second = 584.78151187955 knots
Alternative conversion
