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 70.1 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 70.1 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

70.1 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 70.1 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 118.31547098269 ft/s

The final result is:

70.1 kt → 118.31547098269 ft/s

We conclude that 70.1 knots is equivalent to 118.31547098269 feet per second:

70.1 knots = 118.31547098269 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 0.0084519800470244 × 70.1 knots.

Another way is saying that 70.1 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0084519800470244 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that seventy point one knots is approximately one hundred eighteen point three one five feet per second:

70.1 kt ≅ 118.315 ft/s

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