Fathom (Us Survey)
A U.S. survey fathom is a unit of length equal to 6 U.S. survey feet.
History/Origin
The U.S. survey fathom is based on the U.S. survey foot, which was slightly different from the international foot. The use of survey units was officially phased out in 2022.
Current Use
The U.S. survey fathom was used in surveying in the United States.
Femtometer
A femtometer is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^-15 meters. It is also known as a fermi.
History/Origin
The prefix "femto-" for 10^-15 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1964. The unit is also named after the physicist Enrico Fermi.
Current Use
The femtometer is primarily used in nuclear physics to measure the size of atomic nuclei.
