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 300 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 300 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

300 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 300 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 177.74514038892 kt

The final result is:

300 ft/s → 177.74514038892 kt

We conclude that 300 feet per second is equivalent to 177.74514038892 knots:

300 feet per second = 177.74514038892 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0056260328569991 × 300 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 300 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0056260328569991 knots.

Approximate result

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

300 ft/s ≅ 177.745 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero six times three hundred feet per second.
