What is the Formula to convert Handbreadth to Earth's equatorial radius?

The formula to convert given length from Handbreadth to Earth's equatorial radius is:

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = Length(Handbreadth) / 83702887.14473045

Substitute the given value of length in handbreadth, i.e., Length(Handbreadth) in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the length in earth's equatorial radius, i.e., Length(Earth's equatorial radius).

Calculation

Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

Examples

1

Consider that a traditional measurement for a table's width is 10 handbreadths.
Convert this width from handbreadths to Earth's equatorial radius.

Answer:

Given:

The length in handbreadth is:

Length(Handbreadth) = 10

Formula:

The formula to convert length from handbreadth to earth's equatorial radius is:

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = Length(Handbreadth) / 83702887.14473045

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Handbreadth) = 10 in the above formula.

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = 10 / 83702887.14473045

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = 1.19470192e-7

Final Answer:

Therefore, 10 handbreadth is equal to 1.19470192e-7 earth's equatorial radius.

The length is 1.19470192e-7 earth's equatorial radius, in earth's equatorial radius.

2

Consider that a door is 6 handbreadths wide.
Convert this width from handbreadths to Earth's equatorial radius.

Answer:

Given:

The length in handbreadth is:

Length(Handbreadth) = 6

Formula:

The formula to convert length from handbreadth to earth's equatorial radius is:

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = Length(Handbreadth) / 83702887.14473045

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Handbreadth) = 6 in the above formula.

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = 6 / 83702887.14473045

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = 7.16821152e-8

Final Answer:

Therefore, 6 handbreadth is equal to 7.16821152e-8 earth's equatorial radius.

The length is 7.16821152e-8 earth's equatorial radius, in earth's equatorial radius.

Handbreadth

A handbreadth is a historical unit of length used to measure small distances, typically based on the width of a hand. One handbreadth is approximately equivalent to 4 inches or about 0.1016 meters.

The handbreadth is defined as the width of a person's hand, measured from the edge of the thumb to the edge of the little finger when the hand is spread out. This unit was used for practical measurements in various contexts, including textiles and construction.

Handbreadths were used in historical measurement systems for assessing lengths and dimensions where precise tools were not available. Although less common today, the unit provides historical context for traditional measurement practices and everyday use in different cultures.

Earth's equatorial radius

The Earth's equatorial radius is the distance from the Earth's center to the equator. One Earth's equatorial radius is approximately 6,378.1 kilometers or about 3,963.2 miles.

The equatorial radius is the longest radius of the Earth due to its equatorial bulge, caused by the planet's rotation. This bulge results in a slightly larger radius at the equator compared to the polar radius.

The Earth's equatorial radius is used in geodesy, cartography, and satellite navigation to define the Earth's shape and for accurate measurements of distances and areas on the Earth's surface. It provides a key parameter for understanding Earth's dimensions and its gravitational field.
