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

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

Length_{(Span (cloth))} = Length_{(Fathoms (US survey))} / 0.124999750008755

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 span (cloth), i.e., Length_{(Span (cloth))}.

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 Span (cloth).

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 span (cloth) is:

Length_{(Span (cloth))} = Length_{(Fathoms (US survey))} / 0.124999750008755

Substitution:

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

Length_{(Span (cloth))} = 5 / 0.124999750008755

Length_{(Span (cloth))} = 40.0001

Final Answer:

Therefore, 5 fath is equal to 40.0001 span.

The length is 40.0001 span, in span (cloth).

2

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

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 span (cloth) is:

Length_{(Span (cloth))} = Length_{(Fathoms (US survey))} / 0.124999750008755

Substitution:

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

Length_{(Span (cloth))} = 8 / 0.124999750008755

Length_{(Span (cloth))} = 64.0001

Final Answer:

Therefore, 8 fath is equal to 64.0001 span.

The length is 64.0001 span, in span (cloth).

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.

Span (cloth)

A span (cloth) is a unit of length used historically in textiles and cloth measurement. One span (cloth) is approximately equivalent to 24 inches or 0.6096 meters.

The span (cloth) is based on the width of a person's outstretched hand from thumb to little finger, providing a practical measure for fabric lengths and textile work.

Spans (cloth) were used in the textile industry for measuring and cutting fabric. While less common today, the unit remains of historical interest and reflects traditional practices in cloth measurement and tailoring.
