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

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

Length(Fathoms (US survey)) = Length(Earth's equatorial radius) / 2.867290342870832e-7

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

Calculation

Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

Examples

1

Consider that a geostationary satellite orbits at a distance equal to 6.6 times Earth's equatorial radius.
Convert this distance from Earth's equatorial radius to Fathoms (US survey).

Answer:

Given:

The length in earth's equatorial radius is:

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = 6.6

Formula:

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

Length(Fathoms (US survey)) = Length(Earth's equatorial radius) / 2.867290342870832e-7

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = 6.6 in the above formula.

Length(Fathoms (US survey)) = 6.6 / 2.867290342870832e-7

Length(Fathoms (US survey)) = 23018247.9302

Final Answer:

Therefore, 6.6 earth's equatorial radius is equal to 23018247.9302 fath.

The length is 23018247.9302 fath, in fathoms (us survey).

2

Consider that a mountain's height is measured as 0.000156 times Earth's equatorial radius.
Convert this height from Earth's equatorial radius to Fathoms (US survey).

Answer:

Given:

The length in earth's equatorial radius is:

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = 0.000156

Formula:

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

Length(Fathoms (US survey)) = Length(Earth's equatorial radius) / 2.867290342870832e-7

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = 0.000156 in the above formula.

Length(Fathoms (US survey)) = 0.000156 / 2.867290342870832e-7

Length(Fathoms (US survey)) = 544.0676783

Final Answer:

Therefore, 0.000156 earth's equatorial radius is equal to 544.0676783 fath.

The length is 544.0676783 fath, in fathoms (us survey).

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.

Fathoms (US survey)

A fathom (US survey) is a unit of length used primarily in maritime contexts in the United States to measure water depth. One US survey fathom is equivalent to exactly 6 feet or approximately 1.8288 meters.

The US survey fathom is defined as 6 feet, consistent with historical maritime measurement practices and used for depth soundings and underwater measurements.

Fathoms (US survey) are utilized in navigation, fishing, and marine activities in the United States to describe water depth. The unit provides a practical measurement for underwater distances and ensures consistency in maritime practices.
