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 100 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 100 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
100 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 100 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 168.78098570997 ft/s
The final result is:
100 kt → 168.78098570997 ft/s
We conclude that 100 knots is equivalent to 168.78098570997 feet per second:
100 knots = 168.78098570997 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 0.0059248380129641 × 100 knots.
Another way is saying that 100 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0059248380129641 feet per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one hundred knots is approximately one hundred sixty-eight point seven eight one feet per second:
100 kt ≅ 168.781 ft/s
An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero six times one hundred knots.
