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 159 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 159 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

159 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 159 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 94.204924406129 kt

The final result is:

159 ft/s → 94.204924406129 kt

We conclude that 159 feet per second is equivalent to 94.204924406129 knots:

159 feet per second = 94.204924406129 knots

Alternative conversion
