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 37 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 37 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

37 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 37 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 62.44896471269 ft/s

The final result is:

37 kt → 62.44896471269 ft/s

We conclude that 37 knots is equivalent to 62.44896471269 feet per second:

37 knots = 62.44896471269 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 0.016013075710714 × 37 knots.

Another way is saying that 37 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.016013075710714 feet per second.

Approximate result

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

37 kt ≅ 62.449 ft/s

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