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 104 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 104 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

104 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 104 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 175.53222513837 ft/s

The final result is:

104 kt → 175.53222513837 ft/s

We conclude that 104 knots is equivalent to 175.53222513837 feet per second:

104 knots = 175.53222513837 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 0.0056969596278501 × 104 knots.

Another way is saying that 104 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0056969596278501 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 four knots is approximately one hundred seventy-five point five three two feet per second:

104 kt ≅ 175.532 ft/s

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