Examples
1
Consider that a river's depth is measured at 5 fathoms (US survey). Convert this depth from fathoms (US survey) to Nautical Miles (UK).
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 nautical miles (uk) is:
Length(Nautical Miles (UK)) = Length(Fathoms (US survey)) / 1013.3313533914566
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Fathoms (US survey)) = 5 in the above formula.
Length(Nautical Miles (UK)) = 5 / 1013.3313533914566
Length(Nautical Miles (UK)) = 0.0049342201672393
Final Answer:
Therefore, 5 fath is equal to 0.0049342201672393 NM (UK).
The length is 0.0049342201672393 NM (UK), in nautical miles (uk).
2
Consider that a dock extends into the sea for 8 fathoms (US survey). Convert this length from fathoms (US survey) to Nautical Miles (UK).
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 nautical miles (uk) is:
Length(Nautical Miles (UK)) = Length(Fathoms (US survey)) / 1013.3313533914566
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Fathoms (US survey)) = 8 in the above formula.
Length(Nautical Miles (UK)) = 8 / 1013.3313533914566
Length(Nautical Miles (UK)) = 0.0078947522675828
Final Answer:
Therefore, 8 fath is equal to 0.0078947522675828 NM (UK).
The length is 0.0078947522675828 NM (UK), in nautical miles (uk).
