ft/s vers knot convertisseur - Pied par Seconde vers Nœud

Conversion derivation

Express both ft/s and knot in the same base unit m/s (meter per second), then cancel the shared base unit.

1. 1

   Rewrite ft/s in the base unit

   $$1ft/s=0.3048m/s$$
2. 2

   Rewrite knot in the base unit

   $$1\mathrm{knot}=0.514444m/s$$
3. 3

   Forward conversion

   $$\begin{array}{rl}1ft/s& =\frac{0.3048\cancel{m/s}}{0.514444\cancel{m/s}}\times 1\mathrm{knot}\\ & =\frac{0.3048}{0.514444}\mathrm{knot}\\ & =0.592484313161\mathrm{knot}\end{array}$$
4. 4

   Reverse conversion

   $$\begin{array}{rl}1\mathrm{knot}& =\frac{0.514444\cancel{m/s}}{0.3048\cancel{m/s}}\times 1ft/s\\ & =\frac{0.514444}{0.3048}ft/s\\ & =1.68780839895ft/s\end{array}$$
