What is the Formula to convert Fathoms (US survey) to Earth's equatorial radius?

The formula to convert given length from Fathoms (US survey) to Earth's equatorial radius is:

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = Length(Fathoms (US survey)) / 3487613.3227539305

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 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 river's depth is measured at 5 fathoms (US survey).
Convert this depth from fathoms (US survey) to Earth's equatorial radius.

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 earth's equatorial radius is:

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = Length(Fathoms (US survey)) / 3487613.3227539305

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Fathoms (US survey)) = 5 in the above formula.

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = 5 / 3487613.3227539305

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = 0.0000014336451714

Final Answer:

Therefore, 5 fath is equal to 0.0000014336451714 earth's equatorial radius.

The length is 0.0000014336451714 earth's equatorial radius, in earth's equatorial radius.

2

Consider that a dock extends into the sea for 8 fathoms (US survey).
Convert this length from fathoms (US survey) to Earth's equatorial radius.

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 earth's equatorial radius is:

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = Length(Fathoms (US survey)) / 3487613.3227539305

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Fathoms (US survey)) = 8 in the above formula.

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = 8 / 3487613.3227539305

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = 0.0000022938322743

Final Answer:

Therefore, 8 fath is equal to 0.0000022938322743 earth's equatorial radius.

The length is 0.0000022938322743 earth's equatorial radius, in earth's equatorial radius.

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.

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.
