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

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

Length_(Feet) = Length_{(Fathoms (US survey))} / 0.16666633334754666

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 feet, i.e., Length_(Feet).

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 Feet.

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 feet is:

Length_(Feet) = Length_{(Fathoms (US survey))} / 0.16666633334754666

Substitution:

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

Length_(Feet) = 5 / 0.16666633334754666

Length_(Feet) = 30.0001

Final Answer:

Therefore, 5 fath is equal to 30.0001 ft.

The length is 30.0001 ft, in feet.

2

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

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 feet is:

Length_(Feet) = Length_{(Fathoms (US survey))} / 0.16666633334754666

Substitution:

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

Length_(Feet) = 8 / 0.16666633334754666

Length_(Feet) = 48.0001

Final Answer:

Therefore, 8 fath is equal to 48.0001 ft.

The length is 48.0001 ft, in feet.

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.

Feet

A foot (symbol: ft) is a unit of length used in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. One foot is equal to 0.3048 meters.

The foot originated from various units used in ancient civilizations. Its current definition is based on the international agreement of 1959, which standardized it to exactly 0.3048 meters.

Feet are commonly used to measure height, length, and short distances. Despite the global shift to the metric system, the foot remains in use in these countries.
