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 161.6 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 161.6 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
161.6 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 161.6 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 272.75007290732 ft/s
The final result is:
161.6 kt → 272.75007290732 ft/s
We conclude that 161.6 knots is equivalent to 272.75007290732 feet per second:
161.6 knots = 272.75007290732 feet per second
