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 14.3 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 14.3 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
14.3 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 14.3 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 24.135680956526 ft/s
The final result is:
14.3 kt → 24.135680956526 ft/s
We conclude that 14.3 knots is equivalent to 24.135680956526 feet per second:
14.3 knots = 24.135680956526 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 0.041432433657091 × 14.3 knots.
Another way is saying that 14.3 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.041432433657091 feet per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that fourteen point three knots is approximately twenty-four point one three six feet per second:
14.3 kt ≅ 24.136 ft/s
An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero four one times fourteen point three knots.
