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 143 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 143 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

143 ft/s → V(kt)

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

V(kt) = 143 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V(kt) = 84.725183585386 kt

The final result is:

143 ft/s → 84.725183585386 kt

We conclude that 143 feet per second is equivalent to 84.725183585386 knots:

143 feet per second = 84.725183585386 knots

Alternative conversion
