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 170 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 170 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
170 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 170 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 286.92767570696 ft/s
The final result is:
170 kt → 286.92767570696 ft/s
We conclude that 170 knots is equivalent to 286.92767570696 feet per second:
170 knots = 286.92767570696 feet per second
Alternative conversion
