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 102 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 102 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

102 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 102 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 172.15660542417 ft/s

The final result is:

102 kt → 172.15660542417 ft/s

We conclude that 102 knots is equivalent to 172.15660542417 feet per second:

102 knots = 172.15660542417 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 0.0058086647185922 × 102 knots.

Another way is saying that 102 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0058086647185922 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 two knots is approximately one hundred seventy-two point one five seven feet per second:

102 kt ≅ 172.157 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero six times one hundred two knots.
