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 177 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 177 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

177 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 177 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 298.74234470665 ft/s

The final result is:

177 kt → 298.74234470665 ft/s

We conclude that 177 knots is equivalent to 298.74234470665 feet per second:

177 knots = 298.74234470665 feet per second
