Speed & Distance Conversions

Unit Conversions (Distance & Speed):
1 knot = 1.852000 km/hr*
1 knot = 185200 ÷ 109728 ft/sec* =1.687810 ft/sec
1 knot = 1852000 ÷ 1609344 mph* = 1.150779 mph
1 mph = 0.868976 knot
1 mph = 1.609344 km/hr*
1 mph = 1.466667 ft/sec
1 km/hr= 0.539968 knot
1 km/hr= 0.911344 ft/sec
1 km/hr= 0.621371 mph
* = exact conversion factor

Rather than try to use all these conversion factors, I have sent you a handy little bit of software that will do most conversions that people desire. Forum wont allow me to attach so you may wish to provide some sort of link.
