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 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 10 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 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 10 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 16.878098570997 ft/s
The final result is:
10 kt → 16.878098570997 ft/s
We conclude that 10 knots is equivalent to 16.878098570997 feet per second:
10 knots = 16.878098570997 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 0.059248380129641 × 10 knots.
Another way is saying that 10 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.059248380129641 feet per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that ten knots is approximately sixteen point eight seven eight feet per second:
10 kt ≅ 16.878 ft/s
An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero five nine times ten knots.
