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 15.9 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 15.9 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
15.9 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 15.9 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 26.836176727886 ft/s
The final result is:
15.9 kt → 26.836176727886 ft/s
We conclude that 15.9 knots is equivalent to 26.836176727886 feet per second:
15.9 knots = 26.836176727886 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 0.037263132157007 × 15.9 knots.
Another way is saying that 15.9 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.037263132157007 feet per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that fifteen point nine knots is approximately twenty-six point eight three six feet per second:
15.9 kt ≅ 26.836 ft/s
An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero three seven times fifteen point nine knots.
