Conversion formula
The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:
1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt
To convert 253 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 253 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:
1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt
253 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 253 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 149.89840172799 kt
The final result is:
253 ft/s → 149.89840172799 kt
We conclude that 253 feet per second is equivalent to 149.89840172799 knots:
253 feet per second = 149.89840172799 knots
Alternative conversion
