You may copy the resulting Earth's polar radius value using the Copy button.
To view a detailed step by step calculation of the conversion, click on the View Calculation button.
You can also reset the input by clicking on Reset button present below the input field.
What is the Formula to convert Fathoms (US survey) to Earth's polar radius?
The formula to convert given length from Fathoms (US survey) to Earth's polar radius is:
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 polar radius, i.e., Length(Earth's polar 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 polar radius.
Answer:
Given:
The length in fathoms (us survey) is:

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 polar radius
The Earth's polar radius is the distance from the Earth's center to the poles. One Earth's polar radius is approximately 6,356.8 kilometers or about 3,949.9 miles.
The polar radius is shorter than the equatorial radius due to the Earth's oblate spheroid shape, which results from its rotation causing a bulge at the equator and a flattening at the poles.
The Earth's polar radius is used in geodesy, cartography, and satellite navigation to accurately describe the Earth's shape and dimensions. It is essential for understanding Earth's gravitational field, polar regions, and measurements related to the planet's overall geometry.
