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:

Length(Earth's polar radius) = Length(Fathoms (US survey)) / 3475920.9794187383

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:

Length(Fathoms (US survey)) = 5

Formula:

The formula to convert length from fathoms (us survey) to earth's polar radius is:

Length(Earth's polar radius) = Length(Fathoms (US survey)) / 3475920.9794187383

Substitution:

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

Length(Earth's polar radius) = 5 / 3475920.9794187383

Length(Earth's polar radius) = 0.0000014384676837

Final Answer:

Therefore, 5 fath is equal to 0.0000014384676837 Earth's polar radius.

The length is 0.0000014384676837 Earth's polar radius, in earth's polar 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 polar 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 polar radius is:

Length(Earth's polar radius) = Length(Fathoms (US survey)) / 3475920.9794187383

Substitution:

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

Length(Earth's polar radius) = 8 / 3475920.9794187383

Length(Earth's polar radius) = 0.0000023015482939

Final Answer:

Therefore, 8 fath is equal to 0.0000023015482939 Earth's polar radius.

The length is 0.0000023015482939 Earth's polar radius, in earth's polar 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 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.
