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 176 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 176 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

176 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 176 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 297.05453484955 ft/s

The final result is:

176 kt → 297.05453484955 ft/s

We conclude that 176 knots is equivalent to 297.05453484955 feet per second:

176 knots = 297.05453484955 feet per second
