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 16.4 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 16.4 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
16.4 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 16.4 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 27.680081656436 ft/s
The final result is:
16.4 kt → 27.680081656436 ft/s
We conclude that 16.4 knots is equivalent to 27.680081656436 feet per second:
16.4 knots = 27.680081656436 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 0.036127061054659 × 16.4 knots.
Another way is saying that 16.4 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.036127061054659 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 four knots is approximately twenty-seven point six eight feet per second:
16.4 kt ≅ 27.68 ft/s
An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero three six times sixteen point four knots.
