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 277 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 277 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

277 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 277 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 164.11801295911 kt

The final result is:

277 ft/s → 164.11801295911 kt

We conclude that 277 feet per second is equivalent to 164.11801295911 knots:

277 feet per second = 164.11801295911 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0060931763794214 × 277 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 277 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0060931763794214 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that two hundred seventy-seven feet per second is approximately one hundred sixty-four point one one eight knots:

277 ft/s ≅ 164.118 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero six times two hundred seventy-seven feet per second.
