Examples
1
Consider that a river's depth is measured at 5 fathoms (US survey). Convert this depth from fathoms (US survey) to Meters.
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 meters is:
Substitute given weight Length(Fathoms (US survey)) = 8 in the above formula.
Length(Meters) = 8 / 0.5468055556
Length(Meters) = 14.6304
Final Answer:
Therefore, 8 fath is equal to 14.6304 m.
The length is 14.6304 m, in meters.
