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 85.5 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 85.5 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
85.5 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 85.5 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 50.657365010843 kt
The final result is:
85.5 ft/s → 50.657365010843 kt
We conclude that 85.5 feet per second is equivalent to 50.657365010843 knots:
85.5 feet per second = 50.657365010843 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.019740466164909 × 85.5 feet per second.
Another way is saying that 85.5 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.019740466164909 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eighty-five point five feet per second is approximately fifty point six five seven knots:
85.5 ft/s ≅ 50.657 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero two times eighty-five point five feet per second.
