Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 140.5 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 140.5 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

140.5 ft/s → V(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V(kt) = 140.5 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V(kt) = 83.243974082145 kt

The final result is:

140.5 ft/s → 83.243974082145 kt

We conclude that 140.5 feet per second is equivalent to 83.243974082145 knots:

140.5 feet per second = 83.243974082145 knots
