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 8.6 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8.6 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
8.6 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 8.6 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 5.0953606911491 kt
The final result is:
8.6 ft/s → 5.0953606911491 kt
We conclude that 8.6 feet per second is equivalent to 5.0953606911491 knots:
8.6 feet per second = 5.0953606911491 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.19625696012788 × 8.6 feet per second.
Another way is saying that 8.6 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.19625696012788 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eight point six feet per second is approximately five point zero nine five knots:
8.6 ft/s ≅ 5.095 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point one nine six times eight point six feet per second.
