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 11.2 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 11.2 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

11.2 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 11.2 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 18.903470399517 ft/s

The final result is:

11.2 kt → 18.903470399517 ft/s

We conclude that 11.2 knots is equivalent to 18.903470399517 feet per second:

11.2 knots = 18.903470399517 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 0.052900339401465 × 11.2 knots.

Another way is saying that 11.2 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.052900339401465 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eleven point two knots is approximately eighteen point nine zero three feet per second:

11.2 kt ≅ 18.903 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero five three times eleven point two knots.
