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

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

Length_(Dekameters) = Length_{(Fathoms (US survey))} / 5.4680555559999995

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 dekameters, i.e., Length_(Dekameters).

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 Dekameters.

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 dekameters is:

Length_(Dekameters) = Length_{(Fathoms (US survey))} / 5.4680555559999995

Substitution:

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

Length_(Dekameters) = 5 / 5.4680555559999995

Length_(Dekameters) = 0.9144

Final Answer:

Therefore, 5 fath is equal to 0.9144 dam.

The length is 0.9144 dam, in dekameters.

2

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

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 dekameters is:

Length_(Dekameters) = Length_{(Fathoms (US survey))} / 5.4680555559999995

Substitution:

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

Length_(Dekameters) = 8 / 5.4680555559999995

Length_(Dekameters) = 1.463

Final Answer:

Therefore, 8 fath is equal to 1.463 dam.

The length is 1.463 dam, in dekameters.

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.

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.
