a submarine is diving at a speed of 36.5 fathoms per minuite.?

Question

express this speed in meters per second. fathom is precisely 6 ft
what is this speed in miles per hour?
what is this speed in light year per year?

Answer 1

Let me fathom that... Hmmm

I think that
1 fathom = 1.8288 meters


V=36.5 fth/min (1min/60s)(1.8288m/1fth)
V=1.11 m/s
you do the rest if
1 fathom = 6 feet
1mi=5280feet

light years! He-he
I don't think you want it in parsecs do you?...:-)
