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:
