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 842.5 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 842.5 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
842.5 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 842.5 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 1421.9798046065 ft/s
The final result is:
842.5 kt → 1421.9798046065 ft/s
We conclude that 842.5 knots is equivalent to 1421.9798046065 feet per second:
842.5 knots = 1421.9798046065 feet per second
