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 48.2 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 48.2 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
48.2 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 48.2 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 28.557719222487 kt
The final result is:
48.2 ft/s → 28.557719222487 kt
We conclude that 48.2 feet per second is equivalent to 28.557719222487 knots:
48.2 feet per second = 28.557719222487 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.035016802014517 × 48.2 feet per second.
Another way is saying that 48.2 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.035016802014517 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that forty-eight point two feet per second is approximately twenty-eight point five five eight knots:
48.2 ft/s ≅ 28.558 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero three five times forty-eight point two feet per second.
