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

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

Length(Fathoms (US survey)) = Length(Earth's polar radius) / 2.8769353674064976e-7

Substitute the given value of length in earth's polar radius, i.e., Length(Earth's polar 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 polar satellite orbits at a distance equal to 2.3 times Earth's polar radius.
Convert this distance from Earth's polar radius to Fathoms (US survey).

Answer:

Given:

The length in earth's polar radius is:

Length(Earth's polar radius) = 2.3

Formula:

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

Length(Fathoms (US survey)) = Length(Earth's polar radius) / 2.8769353674064976e-7

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Earth's polar radius) = 2.3 in the above formula.

Length(Fathoms (US survey)) = 2.3 / 2.8769353674064976e-7

Length(Fathoms (US survey)) = 7994618.2527

Final Answer:

Therefore, 2.3 Earth's polar radius is equal to 7994618.2527 fath.

The length is 7994618.2527 fath, in fathoms (us survey).

2

Consider that a polar ice cap extends to a height of 0.0001 times Earth's polar radius.
Convert this height from Earth's polar radius to Fathoms (US survey).

Answer:

Given:

The length in earth's polar radius is:

Length(Earth's polar radius) = 0.0001

Formula:

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

Length(Fathoms (US survey)) = Length(Earth's polar radius) / 2.8769353674064976e-7

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Earth's polar radius) = 0.0001 in the above formula.

Length(Fathoms (US survey)) = 0.0001 / 2.8769353674064976e-7

Length(Fathoms (US survey)) = 347.5921

Final Answer:

Therefore, 0.0001 Earth's polar radius is equal to 347.5921 fath.

The length is 347.5921 fath, in fathoms (us survey).

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.

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.
