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 52 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 52 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
52 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 52 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 87.766112569186 ft/s
The final result is:
52 kt → 87.766112569186 ft/s
We conclude that 52 knots is equivalent to 87.766112569186 feet per second:
52 knots = 87.766112569186 feet per second
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.0113939192557 × 52 knots.
Another way is saying that 52 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0113939192557 feet per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that fifty-two knots is approximately eighty-seven point seven six six feet per second:
52 kt ≅ 87.766 ft/s
An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero one one times fifty-two knots.
