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

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

Length_(Gigameters) = Length_{(Fathoms (US survey))} / 546805555.5999999

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 gigameters, i.e., Length_(Gigameters).

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 Gigameters.

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 gigameters is:

Length_(Gigameters) = Length_{(Fathoms (US survey))} / 546805555.5999999

Substitution:

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

Length_(Gigameters) = 5 / 546805555.5999999

Length_(Gigameters) = 9.1440183e-9

Final Answer:

Therefore, 5 fath is equal to 9.1440183e-9 Gm.

The length is 9.1440183e-9 Gm, in gigameters.

2

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

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 gigameters is:

Length_(Gigameters) = Length_{(Fathoms (US survey))} / 546805555.5999999

Substitution:

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

Length_(Gigameters) = 8 / 546805555.5999999

Length_(Gigameters) = 1.46304293e-8

Final Answer:

Therefore, 8 fath is equal to 1.46304293e-8 Gm.

The length is 1.46304293e-8 Gm, in gigameters.

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.

Gigameters

A gigameter (Gm) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). One gigameter is equivalent to 1,000,000,000 meters or approximately 621,371,192 miles.

The gigameter is defined as one billion meters, making it a measurement for extremely large distances, often used in astronomical contexts.

Gigameters are used in fields such as astronomy and space science to describe distances on a scale larger than megameters. They offer a convenient way to express the vast distances between celestial bodies and in large-scale cosmic phenomena.

  "y_long_desc": "A gigameter (Gm) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). One gigameter is equivalent to 1,000,000,000 meters or approximately 621,371,192 miles. </p><p>The gigameter is defined as one billion meters, making it a measurement for extremely large distances, often used in astronomical contexts.</p><p>Gigameters are used in fields such as astronomy and space science to describe distances on a scale larger than megameters. They offer a convenient way to express the vast distances between celestial bodies and in large-scale cosmic phenomena.",
  "x_long_desc": "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. </p><p>The US survey fathom is defined as 6 feet, consistent with historical maritime measurement practices and used for depth soundings and underwater measurements.</p><p>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."
