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 36.1 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 36.1 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

36.1 kt → V_(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V_(ft/s) = 36.1 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 60.929935841301 ft/s

The final result is:

36.1 kt → 60.929935841301 ft/s

We conclude that 36.1 knots is equivalent to 60.929935841301 feet per second:

36.1 knots = 60.929935841301 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 0.01641229366472 × 36.1 knots.

Another way is saying that 36.1 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.01641229366472 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that thirty-six point one knots is approximately sixty point nine three feet per second:

36.1 kt ≅ 60.93 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero one six times thirty-six point one knots.
