A nautical mile is approximately one minute of arc of latitude along a meridian. To simplify, it is 1.15078 miles, or 1.85200 km as defined by the First International Extraordinary Hydrographic Conference in 1929. This is the generally accepted international length.
They are incompatible units. Mils are used for angular measurement not linear measure.
In the UK it is usually 25ml.
Flour should not really be measured by the 'mil', since mils are designed to measure liquid goods. When using mils to measure solids, it becomes very inaccurate.
Degrees, Radians (or Mils/Milliradians), Grads or Dici
- mils are a unit of measure - 1 mil is 1/1000 of an inch thick - 75 mils is 75/1000 of an inch, or .075 inch
sailors measure distances at sea in nautical miles
The word nautical miles are frequently used by mariners, seafarers, a measure of distance on a geographic map and standard of measure S.I.
The cross-sectional area of a 12 AWG solid wire is approximately 6530 circular mils. Circular mils are commonly used to measure the cross-sectional area of wires and cables in electrical engineering.
A nautical unit of measure equal to one tenth of a nautical mile is known as a cable or nautical cable. In nautical terms, a cable is approximately 608 feet or 185.2 meters long. It is commonly used for measuring distances at sea, especially when referring to the depth of water.
To convert mils to circular mils, you simply square the mil measurement. Since one circular mil is defined as the area of a circle with a diameter of one mil, you can use the formula: Circular mils = (mils)². For example, if you have a wire with a diameter of 10 mils, the conversion to circular mils would be 10², resulting in 100 circular mils.
No, nautical knots and airplane speed knots are not the same measurement. Nautical knots measure speed in nautical miles per hour, while airplane speed knots measure speed in nautical miles per hour as well but in the context of aviation.
