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 242 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 242 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
242 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 242 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 143.38107991373 kt
The final result is:
242 ft/s → 143.38107991373 kt
We conclude that 242 feet per second is equivalent to 143.38107991373 knots:
242 feet per second = 143.38107991373 knots
Alternative conversion
