What is the Formula to convert Knot (UK) to Foot/second?

The formula to convert given speed from Knot (UK) to Foot/second is:

Speed(Foot/second) = Speed(Knot (UK)) × 3.280839895 / 1.9426025694

Substitute the given value of speed in knot (uk), i.e., Speed(Knot (UK)) in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the speed in foot/second, i.e., Speed(Foot/second).

Calculation

Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

Examples

1

A fishing boat travels at a speed of 12 knots (UK).
Convert this speed from knots (UK) to Foot/second.

Answer:

Given:

The speed in knot (uk) is:

Speed(Knot (UK)) = 12

Formula:

The formula to convert speed from knot (uk) to foot/second is:

Speed(Foot/second) = Speed(Knot (UK)) × 3.280839895 / 1.9426025694

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Speed(Knot (UK)) = 12 in the above formula.

Speed(Foot/second) = 12 × 3.280839895 / 1.9426025694

Speed(Foot/second) = 20.2667

Final Answer:

Therefore, 12 kt (UK) is equal to 20.2667 ft/s.

The speed is 20.2667 ft/s, in foot/second.

2

A naval ship moves at a speed of 30 knots (UK).
Convert this speed from knots (UK) to Foot/second.

Answer:

Given:

The speed in knot (uk) is:

Speed(Knot (UK)) = 30

Formula:

The formula to convert speed from knot (uk) to foot/second is:

Speed(Foot/second) = Speed(Knot (UK)) × 3.280839895 / 1.9426025694

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Speed(Knot (UK)) = 30 in the above formula.

Speed(Foot/second) = 30 × 3.280839895 / 1.9426025694

Speed(Foot/second) = 50.6667

Final Answer:

Therefore, 30 kt (UK) is equal to 50.6667 ft/s.

The speed is 50.6667 ft/s, in foot/second.

Knot (UK)

The knot (UK) is the British version of the knot, used similarly to the international knot to measure speed at sea or in the air. It represents one nautical mile per hour, and while the definition is consistent with the international version, it is sometimes distinguished in historical or traditional contexts.

Foot/second

The foot per second (ft/s) is a unit of speed commonly used in the United States to measure the velocity of objects, particularly in engineering and physics. It indicates how many feet are covered in one second and is often used in contexts such as projectile motion or fluid flow.
