Convert Foot per second to Meter per second
Unit definitions
Foot per second
A foot is a unit of length equal to $0.304\,8 \ \text{m}$. Foot per second is the distance traveled in feet in one second.
Meter per second
Meter per second is the standard unit of speed in the International System of Units (SI). It is also known as metre per second (UK).
How to convert Foot per second to Meter per second
$$\text{Speed}_{\text{ms⁻¹}} = \text{Speed}_{\text{fts⁻¹}} \cdot 0.3048$$
Examples
Example 1
Convert $50.0\ \text{fts⁻¹}$ to $\text{ms⁻¹}$.
$$\text{Speed}_{\text{ms⁻¹}} = 50.0 \cdot 0.3048$$
$$\text{Speed}_{\text{ms⁻¹}} = 15.24$$
$$\therefore \ 50.0\ \text{fts⁻¹} = 15.24 \ \text{ms⁻¹}$$
Example 2
Convert $60.0\ \text{fts⁻¹}$ to $\text{ms⁻¹}$.
$$\text{Speed}_{\text{ms⁻¹}} = 60.0 \cdot 0.3048$$
$$\text{Speed}_{\text{ms⁻¹}} = 18.288$$
$$\therefore \ 60.0\ \text{fts⁻¹} = 18.288 \ \text{ms⁻¹}$$
Example 3
Convert $105.0\ \text{fts⁻¹}$ to $\text{ms⁻¹}$.
$$\text{Speed}_{\text{ms⁻¹}} = 105.0 \cdot 0.3048$$
$$\text{Speed}_{\text{ms⁻¹}} = 32.004$$
$$\therefore \ 105.0\ \text{fts⁻¹} = 32.004 \ \text{ms⁻¹}$$
Example 4
Convert $145.0\ \text{fts⁻¹}$ to $\text{ms⁻¹}$.
$$\text{Speed}_{\text{ms⁻¹}} = 145.0 \cdot 0.3048$$
$$\text{Speed}_{\text{ms⁻¹}} = 44.196$$
$$\therefore \ 145.0\ \text{fts⁻¹} = 44.196 \ \text{ms⁻¹}$$
Example 5
Convert $185.0\ \text{fts⁻¹}$ to $\text{ms⁻¹}$.
$$\text{Speed}_{\text{ms⁻¹}} = 185.0 \cdot 0.3048$$
$$\text{Speed}_{\text{ms⁻¹}} = 56.388$$
$$\therefore \ 185.0\ \text{fts⁻¹} = 56.388 \ \text{ms⁻¹}$$
