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 20 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 20 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
20 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 20 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 11.849676025928 kt
The final result is:
20 ft/s → 11.849676025928 kt
We conclude that 20 feet per second is equivalent to 11.849676025928 knots:
20 feet per second = 11.849676025928 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.084390492854987 × 20 feet per second.
Another way is saying that 20 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.084390492854987 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that twenty feet per second is approximately eleven point eight five knots:
20 ft/s ≅ 11.85 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero eight four times twenty feet per second.
