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 472 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 472 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
472 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 472 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 796.64625255108 ft/s
The final result is:
472 kt → 796.64625255108 ft/s
We conclude that 472 knots is equivalent to 796.64625255108 feet per second:
