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 39.7 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 39.7 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
39.7 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 39.7 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 23.521606911467 kt
The final result is:
39.7 ft/s → 23.521606911467 kt
We conclude that 39.7 feet per second is equivalent to 23.521606911467 knots:
39.7 feet per second = 23.521606911467 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.042514102193948 × 39.7 feet per second.
Another way is saying that 39.7 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.042514102193948 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that thirty-nine point seven feet per second is approximately twenty-three point five two two knots:
39.7 ft/s ≅ 23.522 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero four three times thirty-nine point seven feet per second.
