Examples
1
Consider that a ship anchors in water that is 30 fathoms deep. Convert this depth from fathoms to Kilometers.
Answer:
Given:
The length in fathoms is:
Length(Fathoms) = 30
Formula:
The formula to convert length from fathoms to kilometers is:
Substitute given weight Length(Fathoms) = 10 in the above formula.
Length(Kilometers) = 10 / 546.8066492
Length(Kilometers) = 0.0182879999989583
Final Answer:
Therefore, 10 fath is equal to 0.0182879999989583 km.
The length is 0.0182879999989583 km, in kilometers.

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.
Kilometers
A kilometer (km) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 0.6214 miles. One kilometer is one thousand meters.
The prefix "kilo-" means one thousand. A kilometer is defined by 1000 times the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 seconds. This definition may change, but a kilometer will always be one thousand meters.
Kilometers are used to measure distances on land in most countries. However, the United States and the United Kingdom still often use miles. The UK has adopted the metric system, but miles are still used on road signs.
