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 55.2 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 55.2 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
55.2 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 55.2 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 93.167104111906 ft/s
The final result is:
55.2 kt → 93.167104111906 ft/s
We conclude that 55.2 knots is equivalent to 93.167104111906 feet per second:
55.2 knots = 93.167104111906 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 0.010733402197399 × 55.2 knots.
Another way is saying that 55.2 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.010733402197399 feet per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that fifty-five point two knots is approximately ninety-three point one six seven feet per second:
55.2 kt ≅ 93.167 ft/s
An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero one one times fifty-five point two knots.
