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 50.1 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 50.1 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

50.1 kt → V(ft/s)

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

V(ft/s) = 50.1 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V(ft/s) = 84.559273840697 ft/s

The final result is:

50.1 kt → 84.559273840697 ft/s

We conclude that 50.1 knots is equivalent to 84.559273840697 feet per second:
