Examples

1

Consider that a ship anchors in water that is 30 fathoms deep.
Convert this depth from fathoms to Dekameters.

Answer:

Given:

The length in fathoms is:

Length(Fathoms) = 30

Formula:

The formula to convert length from fathoms to dekameters is:

Length(Dekameters) = Length(Fathoms) / 5.468066491999999

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Fathoms) = 30 in the above formula.

Length(Dekameters) = 30 / 5.468066491999999

Length(Dekameters) = 5.4864

Final Answer:

Therefore, 30 fath is equal to 5.4864 dam.

The length is 5.4864 dam, in dekameters.

2

Consider that a diver descends to a depth of 10 fathoms.
Convert this depth from fathoms to Dekameters.

Answer:

Given:

The length in fathoms is:

Length(Fathoms) = 10

Formula:

The formula to convert length from fathoms to dekameters is:

Length(Dekameters) = Length(Fathoms) / 5.468066491999999

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Fathoms) = 10 in the above formula.

Length(Dekameters) = 10 / 5.468066491999999

Length(Dekameters) = 1.8288

Final Answer:

Therefore, 10 fath is equal to 1.8288 dam.

The length is 1.8288 dam, in dekameters.

Fathoms

A fathom is a unit of length used primarily in maritime contexts to measure water depth. One fathom is equivalent to 6 feet or approximately 1.8288 meters.

The fathom is defined as 6 feet, making it a convenient measurement for nautical and maritime applications, particularly for depth soundings and underwater measurements.

Fathoms are commonly used in navigation, fishing, and marine activities to describe the depth of water. The unit provides a practical measurement for underwater distances and has historical significance in maritime practices.

Dekameters

A dekameter (dam) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). One dekameter is equivalent to 10 meters or approximately 32.808 feet.

The dekameter is defined as ten meters, providing a convenient measurement for moderately large distances.

Dekameters are used in various fields to measure length and distance where a scale between meters and hectometers is appropriate. They are less commonly used than other metric units but can be useful in certain applications, such as land measurement and environmental science.
