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 13.7 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 13.7 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
13.7 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 13.7 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 23.122995042266 ft/s
The final result is:
13.7 kt → 23.122995042266 ft/s
We conclude that 13.7 knots is equivalent to 23.122995042266 feet per second:
13.7 knots = 23.122995042266 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 0.043246992795358 × 13.7 knots.
Another way is saying that 13.7 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.043246992795358 feet per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that thirteen point seven knots is approximately twenty-three point one two three feet per second:
13.7 kt ≅ 23.123 ft/s
An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero four three times thirteen point seven knots.
