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 159.8 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 159.8 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
159.8 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 159.8 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 269.71201516454 ft/s
The final result is:
159.8 kt → 269.71201516454 ft/s
We conclude that 159.8 knots is equivalent to 269.71201516454 feet per second:
159.8 knots = 269.71201516454 feet per second
