What is the Formula to convert Chains (US survey) to Earth's equatorial radius?

The formula to convert given length from Chains (US survey) to Earth's equatorial radius is:

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = Length(Chains (US survey)) / 317055.7568459268

Substitute the given value of length in chains (us survey), i.e., Length(Chains (US survey)) in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the length in earth's equatorial radius, i.e., Length(Earth's equatorial radius).

Calculation

Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

Examples

1

Consider that a land survey recorded a boundary line of 25 chains (US survey).
Convert this distance from chains (US survey) to Earth's equatorial radius.

Answer:

Given:

The length in chains (us survey) is:

Length(Chains (US survey)) = 25

Formula:

The formula to convert length from chains (us survey) to earth's equatorial radius is:

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = Length(Chains (US survey)) / 317055.7568459268

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Chains (US survey)) = 25 in the above formula.

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = 25 / 317055.7568459268

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = 0.0000788504843713

Final Answer:

Therefore, 25 ch is equal to 0.0000788504843713 earth's equatorial radius.

The length is 0.0000788504843713 earth's equatorial radius, in earth's equatorial radius.

2

Consider that a railway track section measures 30 chains (US survey).
Convert this distance from chains (US survey) to Earth's equatorial radius.

Answer:

Given:

The length in chains (us survey) is:

Length(Chains (US survey)) = 30

Formula:

The formula to convert length from chains (us survey) to earth's equatorial radius is:

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = Length(Chains (US survey)) / 317055.7568459268

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Chains (US survey)) = 30 in the above formula.

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = 30 / 317055.7568459268

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = 0.0000946205812455

Final Answer:

Therefore, 30 ch is equal to 0.0000946205812455 earth's equatorial radius.

The length is 0.0000946205812455 earth's equatorial radius, in earth's equatorial radius.

Chains (US survey)

A chain (US survey) is a unit of length used primarily in land surveying in the United States. One US survey chain is equivalent to exactly 66 feet or approximately 20.1168 meters.

The US survey chain is defined as 66 feet, based on historical surveying practices and used for measuring and plotting land.

Chains (US survey) are used in land surveying for tasks such as property measurement, land division, and mapping in the United States. This unit ensures consistency and accuracy in surveying and land measurement activities.

Earth's equatorial radius

The Earth's equatorial radius is the distance from the Earth's center to the equator. One Earth's equatorial radius is approximately 6,378.1 kilometers or about 3,963.2 miles.

The equatorial radius is the longest radius of the Earth due to its equatorial bulge, caused by the planet's rotation. This bulge results in a slightly larger radius at the equator compared to the polar radius.

The Earth's equatorial radius is used in geodesy, cartography, and satellite navigation to define the Earth's shape and for accurate measurements of distances and areas on the Earth's surface. It provides a key parameter for understanding Earth's dimensions and its gravitational field.
