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 849 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 849 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

849 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 849 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1432.9505686777 ft/s

The final result is:

849 kt → 1432.9505686777 ft/s

We conclude that 849 knots is equivalent to 1432.9505686777 feet per second:

849 knots = 1432.9505686777 feet per second
