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 175 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 175 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

175 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 175 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 295.36672499245 ft/s

The final result is:

175 kt → 295.36672499245 ft/s

We conclude that 175 knots is equivalent to 295.36672499245 feet per second:

175 knots = 295.36672499245 feet per second
