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

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

Length_(Kilometers) = Length_{(Fathoms (US survey))} / 546.8055555999999

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 kilometers, i.e., Length_(Kilometers).

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 Kilometers.

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 kilometers is:

Length_(Kilometers) = Length_{(Fathoms (US survey))} / 546.8055555999999

Substitution:

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

Length_(Kilometers) = 5 / 546.8055555999999

Length_(Kilometers) = 0.0091440182872933

Final Answer:

Therefore, 5 fath is equal to 0.0091440182872933 km.

The length is 0.0091440182872933 km, in kilometers.

2

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

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 kilometers is:

Length_(Kilometers) = Length_{(Fathoms (US survey))} / 546.8055555999999

Substitution:

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

Length_(Kilometers) = 8 / 546.8055555999999

Length_(Kilometers) = 0.0146304292596694

Final Answer:

Therefore, 8 fath is equal to 0.0146304292596694 km.

The length is 0.0146304292596694 km, in kilometers.

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.

Kilometers

A kilometer (km) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 0.6214 miles. One kilometer is one thousand meters.

The prefix "kilo-" means one thousand. A kilometer is defined by 1000 times the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 seconds. This definition may change, but a kilometer will always be one thousand meters.

Kilometers are used to measure distances on land in most countries. However, the United States and the United Kingdom still often use miles. The UK has adopted the metric system, but miles are still used on road signs.

  "y_long_desc": "A kilometer (km) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 0.6214 miles. One kilometer is one thousand meters. </p><p>The prefix \"kilo-\" means one thousand. A kilometer is defined by 1000 times the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 seconds. This definition may change, but a kilometer will always be one thousand meters. </p><p>Kilometers are used to measure distances on land in most countries. However, the United States and the United Kingdom still often use miles. The UK has adopted the metric system, but miles are still used on road signs.",
  "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."
