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 40.3 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 40.3 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
40.3 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 40.3 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 68.018737241119 ft/s
The final result is:
40.3 kt → 68.018737241119 ft/s
We conclude that 40.3 knots is equivalent to 68.018737241119 feet per second:
40.3 knots = 68.018737241119 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 0.014701831297678 × 40.3 knots.
Another way is saying that 40.3 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.014701831297678 feet per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that forty point three knots is approximately sixty-eight point zero one nine feet per second:
40.3 kt ≅ 68.019 ft/s
An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero one five times forty point three knots.
