What is the Formula to convert Diameter Parts to Sextants?

The formula to convert given angle from Diameter Parts to Sextants is:

Angle(Sextants) = Angle(Diameter Parts) × 6 / 376.991

Substitute the given value of angle in diameter parts, i.e., Angle(Diameter Parts) in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the angle in sextants, i.e., Angle(Sextants).

Calculation

Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

Examples

1

Consider that a mechanical watch's gear rotates by 12 diameter parts.
Convert this rotation from diameter parts to Sextants.

Answer:

Given:

The angle in diameter parts is:

Angle(Diameter Parts) = 12

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from diameter parts to sextants is:

Angle(Sextants) = Angle(Diameter Parts) × 6 / 376.991

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Angle(Diameter Parts) = 12 in the above formula.

Angle(Sextants) = 12 × 6 / 376.991

Angle(Sextants) = 0.191

Final Answer:

Therefore, 12 diameter part is equal to 0.191 sextant.

The angle is 0.191 sextant, in sextants.

2

Consider that a precision tool rotates by 16 diameter parts for accurate measurements.
Convert this rotation from diameter parts to Sextants.

Answer:

Given:

The angle in diameter parts is:

Angle(Diameter Parts) = 16

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from diameter parts to sextants is:

Angle(Sextants) = Angle(Diameter Parts) × 6 / 376.991

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Angle(Diameter Parts) = 16 in the above formula.

Angle(Sextants) = 16 × 6 / 376.991

Angle(Sextants) = 0.2546

Final Answer:

Therefore, 16 diameter part is equal to 0.2546 sextant.

The angle is 0.2546 sextant, in sextants.

Diameter Parts

Diameter parts are a less common unit of angular measurement, historically used to describe angles in terms of the fractional parts of a circle's diameter. This unit was more prevalent in classical geometry and certain types of mechanical design, where direct relationships between linear measurements and angles were essential.

Sextants

Sextants are a unit of angular measurement used primarily in navigation and astronomy, representing one-sixth of a full circle, or 60 degrees. The sextant instrument, named after this unit, is used to measure the angle between two visible objects, such as a star and the horizon, enabling precise determination of latitude and longitude at sea.
