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 60 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 60 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

60 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 60 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 101.26859142598 ft/s

The final result is:

60 kt → 101.26859142598 ft/s

We conclude that 60 knots is equivalent to 101.26859142598 feet per second:

60 knots = 101.26859142598 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 0.0098747300216068 × 60 knots.

Another way is saying that 60 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0098747300216068 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that sixty knots is approximately one hundred one point two six nine feet per second:

60 kt ≅ 101.269 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero one times sixty knots.
