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 161 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 161 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

161 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 161 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 95.389892008722 kt

The final result is:

161 ft/s → 95.389892008722 kt

We conclude that 161 feet per second is equivalent to 95.389892008722 knots:

161 feet per second = 95.389892008722 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.010483291037887 × 161 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 161 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.010483291037887 knots.

Approximate result

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

161 ft/s ≅ 95.39 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero one times one hundred sixty-one feet per second.
