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 72.4 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 72.4 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
72.4 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 72.4 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 122.19743365402 ft/s
The final result is:
72.4 kt → 122.19743365402 ft/s
We conclude that 72.4 knots is equivalent to 122.19743365402 feet per second:
72.4 knots = 122.19743365402 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 0.0081834779184587 × 72.4 knots.
Another way is saying that 72.4 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0081834779184587 feet per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that seventy-two point four knots is approximately one hundred twenty-two point one nine seven feet per second:
72.4 kt ≅ 122.197 ft/s
An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero eight times seventy-two point four knots.
