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 272 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 272 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
272 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 272 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 161.15559395262 kt
The final result is:
272 ft/s → 161.15559395262 kt
We conclude that 272 feet per second is equivalent to 161.15559395262 knots:
272 feet per second = 161.15559395262 knots
Alternative conversion
