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 17.4 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 17.4 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
17.4 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 17.4 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 10.309218142558 kt
The final result is:
17.4 ft/s → 10.309218142558 kt
We conclude that 17.4 feet per second is equivalent to 10.309218142558 knots:
17.4 feet per second = 10.309218142558 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.097000566499985 × 17.4 feet per second.
Another way is saying that 17.4 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.097000566499985 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that seventeen point four feet per second is approximately ten point three zero nine knots:
17.4 ft/s ≅ 10.309 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero nine seven times seventeen point four feet per second.
