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 516.5 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 516.5 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
516.5 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 516.5 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 871.75379119201 ft/s
The final result is:
516.5 kt → 871.75379119201 ft/s
We conclude that 516.5 knots is equivalent to 871.75379119201 feet per second:
516.5 knots = 871.75379119201 feet per second
