One fathom is equal to:__________?
Correct answer: A. 6 feet
- A. 6 feet
- B. 6 meters
- C. 60 feet
- D. 100 cm
Explanation
A fathom is a traditional unit of length used especially for depth in water. By definition, 1 fathom = 6 feet, and since 1 foot = 0.3048 m, this is 6 x 0.3048 m = 1.8288 m. Students may choose 6 meters by treating the numerical value as unchanged during unit conversion.

About System, Surroundings and State Functions
A system is the part of the universe under study, while everything outside it is the surroundings; the boundary separates them. State functions such as pressure, temperature, volume, internal energy and enthalpy depend only on the state, unlike heat and work, which depend on the path taken.
