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 197 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 197 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

197 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 197 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 332.49854184865 ft/s

The final result is:

197 kt → 332.49854184865 ft/s

We conclude that 197 knots is equivalent to 332.49854184865 feet per second:

197 knots = 332.49854184865 feet per second
