Examples
1
Consider that a British naval vessel travels 100 nautical miles (UK) to reach its destination. Convert this distance from nautical miles (UK) to Fathoms (US survey).
Answer:
Given:
The length in nautical miles (uk) is:
Length(Nautical Miles (UK)) = 100
Formula:
The formula to convert length from nautical miles (uk) to fathoms (us survey) is:
Length(Fathoms (US survey)) = Length(Nautical Miles (UK)) / 0.0009868440334478562
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Nautical Miles (UK)) = 100 in the above formula.
Therefore, 75 NM (UK) is equal to 75999.8515 fath.
The length is 75999.8515 fath, in fathoms (us survey).
