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 155.9 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 155.9 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
155.9 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 155.9 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 263.12955672185 ft/s
The final result is:
155.9 kt → 263.12955672185 ft/s
We conclude that 155.9 knots is equivalent to 263.12955672185 feet per second:
