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 76 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 76 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

76 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 76 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 128.27354913958 ft/s

The final result is:

76 kt → 128.27354913958 ft/s

We conclude that 76 knots is equivalent to 128.27354913958 feet per second:

76 knots = 128.27354913958 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 0.0077958394907422 × 76 knots.

Another way is saying that 76 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0077958394907422 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that seventy-six knots is approximately one hundred twenty-eight point two seven four feet per second:

76 kt ≅ 128.274 ft/s

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