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 83.5 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 83.5 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

83.5 kt → V(ft/s)

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

V(ft/s) = 83.5 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V(ft/s) = 140.93212306783 ft/s

The final result is:

83.5 kt → 140.93212306783 ft/s

We conclude that 83.5 knots is equivalent to 140.93212306783 feet per second:
