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 402 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 402 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

402 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 402 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 238.17848812116 kt

The final result is:

402 ft/s → 238.17848812116 kt

We conclude that 402 feet per second is equivalent to 238.17848812116 knots:

402 feet per second = 238.17848812116 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0041985319828352 × 402 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 402 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0041985319828352 knots.

Approximate result

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

402 ft/s ≅ 238.178 kt

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