Follow these steps to convert given speed from the units of Foot/second to the units of Knot.
Enter the input Foot/second value in the text field.
The calculator converts the given Foot/second into Knot in realtime ⌚ using the conversion formula, and displays under the Knot label. You do not need to click any button. If the input changes, Knot value is re-calculated, just like that.
You may copy the resulting Knot value using the Copy button.
To view a detailed step by step calculation of the conversion, click on the View Calculation button.
You can also reset the input by clicking on Reset button present below the input field.
What is the Formula to convert Foot/second to Knot?
The formula to convert given speed from Foot/second to Knot is:
Substitute the given value of speed in foot/second, i.e., Speed(Foot/second) in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the speed in knot, i.e., Speed(Knot).
Calculation
Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.
Examples
1
A sprinter reaches a speed of 30 feet per second during a race. Convert this speed from feet per second to Knot.
Answer:
Given:
The speed in foot/second is:
Speed(Foot/second) = 30
Formula:
The formula to convert speed from foot/second to knot is:
Substitute given weight Speed(Foot/second) = 50 in the above formula.
Speed(Knot) = 50 × 1.9438444924 / 3.280839895
Speed(Knot) = 29.6242
Final Answer:
Therefore, 50 ft/s is equal to 29.6242 kt.
The speed is 29.6242 kt, in knot.

Foot/second
The foot per second (ft/s) is a unit of speed commonly used in the United States to measure the velocity of objects, particularly in engineering and physics. It indicates how many feet are covered in one second and is often used in contexts such as projectile motion or fluid flow.
Knot
The knot (kn) is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour. It is commonly used in maritime and aviation contexts to express the speed of ships and aircraft. The knot is an important unit in navigation, where distances are often measured in nautical miles.
