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 16.2 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 16.2 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

16.2 kt → V(ft/s)

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

V(ft/s) = 16.2 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V(ft/s) = 27.342519685016 ft/s

The final result is:

16.2 kt → 27.342519685016 ft/s

We conclude that 16.2 knots is equivalent to 27.342519685016 feet per second:

16.2 knots = 27.342519685016 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 0.036573074154099 × 16.2 knots.

Another way is saying that 16.2 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.036573074154099 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that sixteen point two knots is approximately twenty-seven point three four three feet per second:

16.2 kt ≅ 27.343 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero three seven times sixteen point two knots.
