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 171 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 171 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
171 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 171 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 101.31473002169 kt
The final result is:
171 ft/s → 101.31473002169 kt
We conclude that 171 feet per second is equivalent to 101.31473002169 knots:
171 feet per second = 101.31473002169 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0098702330824546 × 171 feet per second.
Another way is saying that 171 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0098702330824546 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one hundred seventy-one feet per second is approximately one hundred one point three one five knots:
171 ft/s ≅ 101.315 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero one times one hundred seventy-one feet per second.
