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 27.1 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 27.1 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
27.1 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 27.1 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 45.739647127403 ft/s
The final result is:
27.1 kt → 45.739647127403 ft/s
We conclude that 27.1 knots is equivalent to 45.739647127403 feet per second:
27.1 knots = 45.739647127403 feet per second
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.021862870896546 × 27.1 knots.
Another way is saying that 27.1 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.021862870896546 feet per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that twenty-seven point one knots is approximately forty-five point seven four feet per second:
27.1 kt ≅ 45.74 ft/s
An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero two two times twenty-seven point one knots.
