How to convert knots to inches per hour?

To convert knots to inches per hour, you need to know the relationship between these two units of measurement:

A knot is a unit of speed that equals one nautical mile per hour.
One nautical mile is equivalent to 6,076.11549 feet.
There are 12 inches in a foot.

Now, let's perform the conversion:

First, convert knots to feet per hour: 1 knot = 6,076.11549 feet per hour.
Next, convert feet per hour to inches per hour: 6,076.11549 feet per hour × 12 inches per foot = 72,913.38588 inches per hour.

Therefore, 1 knot is equivalent to 72,913.38588 inches per hour.

Real World Examples of Knots in Different Quantities:

Commercial Airliner:
- Typical cruising speed: around 460 knots.
- Conversion: 460 knots × 72,913.38588 inches per hour ≈ 33,540,157.5 inches per hour.
Sailing Yacht:
- Typical cruising speed: around 8 knots.
- Conversion: 8 knots × 72,913.38588 inches per hour ≈ 583,307.09 inches per hour.
High-Speed Ferry:
- Typical speed: around 30 knots.
- Conversion: 30 knots × 72,913.38588 inches per hour ≈ 2,187,401.58 inches per hour.
Submarine:
- Typical speed while submerged: around 20 knots.
- Conversion: 20 knots × 72,913.38588 inches per hour ≈ 1,458,267.72 inches per hour.
Weather System (e.g., Hurricane):
- Hurricane wind speed can be around 75 knots.
- Conversion: 75 knots × 72,913.38588 inches per hour ≈ 5,468,503.16 inches per hour.

By understanding these conversions and examples, you can get a better grasp of how the speed in knots translates into a more tangible measure such as inches per hour.

What is Knots?

Knot measures speed. This unit is used in meteorology, aviation and maritime. Its uses the symbol kt or kn and is equal to number of nautical mile per hour.

Knots can be calculated using following formula. Please note that $t$ is in hours

kn = \frac{x}{t}

1 kn = 1 \frac{nmi}{h} = 1.852 \frac{km}{h}

$kn$ - Knots $nmi$ - Nautical mile
$km$ - Kilometres
$x$ - Number of knots
$t$ - Time in hours

What is Inches per hour?

Inches per hour measures speed. This unit of speed measures how many Inches traveled in one hour. This is part of British imperial and American customary units system. Commonly, express as in/h.

Inches per hour can be calculated using following formula. Please note that $t$ is in hours

\frac{in}{h} = \frac{x}{t}

$in$ - Inches
$x$ - Number of inches
$h$ - Hour
$t$ - Time in hours
