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 162 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 162 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

162 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 162 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 273.42519685016 ft/s

The final result is:

162 kt → 273.42519685016 ft/s

We conclude that 162 knots is equivalent to 273.42519685016 feet per second:

162 knots = 273.42519685016 feet per second

Alternative conversion
