What is the Formula to convert Fathoms (US survey) to Chains?

The formula to convert given length from Fathoms (US survey) to Chains is:

Length_(Chains) = Length_{(Fathoms (US survey))} / 10.99997799624417

Substitute the given value of length in fathoms (us survey), i.e., Length_{(Fathoms (US survey))} in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the length in chains, i.e., Length_(Chains).

Calculation

Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

Examples

1

Consider that a river's depth is measured at 5 fathoms (US survey).
Convert this depth from fathoms (US survey) to Chains.

Answer:

Given:

The length in fathoms (us survey) is:

Length_{(Fathoms (US survey))} = 5

Formula:

The formula to convert length from fathoms (us survey) to chains is:

Length_(Chains) = Length_{(Fathoms (US survey))} / 10.99997799624417

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length_{(Fathoms (US survey))} = 5 in the above formula.

Length_(Chains) = 5 / 10.99997799624417

Length_(Chains) = 0.4545

Final Answer:

Therefore, 5 fath is equal to 0.4545 ch.

The length is 0.4545 ch, in chains.

2

Consider that a dock extends into the sea for 8 fathoms (US survey).
Convert this length from fathoms (US survey) to Chains.

Answer:

Given:

The length in fathoms (us survey) is:

Length_{(Fathoms (US survey))} = 8

Formula:

The formula to convert length from fathoms (us survey) to chains is:

Length_(Chains) = Length_{(Fathoms (US survey))} / 10.99997799624417

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length_{(Fathoms (US survey))} = 8 in the above formula.

Length_(Chains) = 8 / 10.99997799624417

Length_(Chains) = 0.7273

Final Answer:

Therefore, 8 fath is equal to 0.7273 ch.

The length is 0.7273 ch, in chains.

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.

Chains

A chain is a unit of length used primarily in land surveying and agriculture. One chain is equivalent to 66 feet or approximately 20.1168 meters.

The chain is defined as 66 feet, which is historically based on the length of a chain used in surveying practices and land measurement.

Chains are commonly used in land surveying for measuring distances, particularly in the United States and the United Kingdom. The unit is useful for tasks such as plotting and dividing land and has historical significance in the development of surveying techniques.
