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 105.5 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 105.5 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

105.5 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 105.5 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 178.06393992402 ft/s

The final result is:

105.5 kt → 178.06393992402 ft/s

We conclude that 105.5 knots is equivalent to 178.06393992402 feet per second:

105.5 knots = 178.06393992402 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 0.0056159602018617 × 105.5 knots.

Another way is saying that 105.5 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0056159602018617 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 five point five knots is approximately one hundred seventy-eight point zero six four feet per second:

105.5 kt ≅ 178.064 ft/s

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