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 168.6 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 168.6 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

168.6 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 168.6 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 99.892768898574 kt

The final result is:

168.6 ft/s → 99.892768898574 kt

We conclude that 168.6 feet per second is equivalent to 99.892768898574 knots:

168.6 feet per second = 99.892768898574 knots

Alternative conversion
