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 281 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 281 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
281 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 281 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 166.48794816429 kt
The final result is:
281 ft/s → 166.48794816429 kt
We conclude that 281 feet per second is equivalent to 166.48794816429 knots:
281 feet per second = 166.48794816429 knots
