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 172 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 172 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
172 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 172 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 101.90721382298 kt
The final result is:
172 ft/s → 101.90721382298 kt
We conclude that 172 feet per second is equivalent to 101.90721382298 knots:
172 feet per second = 101.90721382298 knots
Alternative conversion
