5 / 20

An aircraft is climbing at 800 ft/min, what is the equivalent rate in metres per second (m/s)?

  • A

    4.1 m/s

  • B

    246 m/s

  • C

    41.0 m/sec

  • D

    43.2 m/sec

In order to convert ft/min into m/s, you will need to divide by 3.28 to get from feet into metres

  • 800 / 3.28 = 243.9 m/min

Then divide by 60 to get into m/s

  • 243.9 / 60 = 4.065 metres per second (approximately 4.1 m/s)
