Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to feet per second is 1.6878098570997, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.6878098570997 feet per second:

1 kt = 1.6878098570997 ft/s

To convert 10.1 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 10.1 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.6878098570997 ft/s

10.1 kt → V(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V(ft/s) = 10.1 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V(ft/s) = 17.046879556707 ft/s

The final result is:

10.1 kt → 17.046879556707 ft/s

We conclude that 10.1 knots is equivalent to 17.046879556707 feet per second:

10.1 knots = 17.046879556707 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.058661762504595 × 10.1 knots.

Another way is saying that 10.1 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.058661762504595 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that ten point one knots is approximately seventeen point zero four seven feet per second:

10.1 kt ≅ 17.047 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero five nine times ten point one knots.
