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 46.2 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 46.2 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

46.2 kt → V(ft/s)

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

V(ft/s) = 46.2 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V(ft/s) = 77.976815398008 ft/s

The final result is:

46.2 kt → 77.976815398008 ft/s

We conclude that 46.2 knots is equivalent to 77.976815398008 feet per second:
