What is the Formula to convert Fathoms to Earth's equatorial radius?

The formula to convert given length from Fathoms to Earth's equatorial radius is:

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = Length(Fathoms) / 3487620.2979097073

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

Calculation

Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

Examples

1

Consider that a ship anchors in water that is 30 fathoms deep.
Convert this depth from fathoms to Earth's equatorial radius.

Answer:

Given:

The length in fathoms is:

Length(Fathoms) = 30

Formula:

The formula to convert length from fathoms to earth's equatorial radius is:

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = Length(Fathoms) / 3487620.2979097073

Substitution:

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

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = 30 / 3487620.2979097073

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = 0.0000086018538251

Final Answer:

Therefore, 30 fath is equal to 0.0000086018538251 earth's equatorial radius.

The length is 0.0000086018538251 earth's equatorial radius, in earth's equatorial radius.

2

Consider that a diver descends to a depth of 10 fathoms.
Convert this depth from fathoms to Earth's equatorial radius.

Answer:

Given:

The length in fathoms is:

Length(Fathoms) = 10

Formula:

The formula to convert length from fathoms to earth's equatorial radius is:

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = Length(Fathoms) / 3487620.2979097073

Substitution:

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

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = 10 / 3487620.2979097073

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = 0.0000028672846084

Final Answer:

Therefore, 10 fath is equal to 0.0000028672846084 earth's equatorial radius.

The length is 0.0000028672846084 earth's equatorial radius, in earth's equatorial radius.

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.

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.
