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 71.5 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 71.5 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
71.5 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 71.5 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 120.67840478263 ft/s
The final result is:
71.5 kt → 120.67840478263 ft/s
We conclude that 71.5 knots is equivalent to 120.67840478263 feet per second:
71.5 knots = 120.67840478263 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 0.0082864867314183 × 71.5 knots.
Another way is saying that 71.5 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0082864867314183 feet per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that seventy-one point five knots is approximately one hundred twenty point six seven eight feet per second:
71.5 kt ≅ 120.678 ft/s
An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero eight times seventy-one point five knots.
