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 53.5 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 53.5 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

53.5 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 53.5 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 90.297827354836 ft/s

The final result is:

53.5 kt → 90.297827354836 ft/s

We conclude that 53.5 knots is equivalent to 90.297827354836 feet per second:

53.5 knots = 90.297827354836 feet per second

Alternative conversion
