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

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

Length(Earth's polar radius) = Length(Chains (US survey)) / 315992.8165419499

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 polar radius, i.e., Length(Earth's polar 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 polar 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 polar radius is:

Length(Earth's polar radius) = Length(Chains (US survey)) / 315992.8165419499

Substitution:

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

Length(Earth's polar radius) = 25 / 315992.8165419499

Length(Earth's polar radius) = 0.0000791157225458

Final Answer:

Therefore, 25 ch is equal to 0.0000791157225458 Earth's polar radius.

The length is 0.0000791157225458 Earth's polar radius, in earth's polar radius.

2

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

Length(Earth's polar radius) = Length(Chains (US survey)) / 315992.8165419499

Substitution:

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

Length(Earth's polar radius) = 30 / 315992.8165419499

Length(Earth's polar radius) = 0.000094938867055

Final Answer:

Therefore, 30 ch is equal to 0.000094938867055 Earth's polar radius.

The length is 0.000094938867055 Earth's polar radius, in earth's polar 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 polar radius

The Earth's polar radius is the distance from the Earth's center to the poles. One Earth's polar radius is approximately 6,356.8 kilometers or about 3,949.9 miles.

The polar radius is shorter than the equatorial radius due to the Earth's oblate spheroid shape, which results from its rotation causing a bulge at the equator and a flattening at the poles.

The Earth's polar radius is used in geodesy, cartography, and satellite navigation to accurately describe the Earth's shape and dimensions. It is essential for understanding Earth's gravitational field, polar regions, and measurements related to the planet's overall geometry.
