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 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 155 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 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 155 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 261.61052785046 ft/s

The final result is:

155 kt → 261.61052785046 ft/s

We conclude that 155 knots is equivalent to 261.61052785046 feet per second:

155 knots = 261.61052785046 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 0.0038224761373962 × 155 knots.

Another way is saying that 155 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0038224761373962 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one hundred fifty-five knots is approximately two hundred sixty-one point six one one feet per second:

155 kt ≅ 261.611 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero four times one hundred fifty-five knots.
