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 49 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 49 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

49 kt → V(ft/s)

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

V(ft/s) = 49 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V(ft/s) = 82.702682997887 ft/s

The final result is:

49 kt → 82.702682997887 ft/s

We conclude that 49 knots is equivalent to 82.702682997887 feet per second:

49 knots = 82.702682997887 feet per second
