Discover the ease of converting square chains to barns with our intuitive tool. Developed by Newtum, this converter ensures accurate conversions that pique your curiosity and cater to your specific needs.
A chain is a unit of length that measures 66 feet, 22 yards, or 100 links. Historically used in surveying, the chain is equivalent to 4 rods, or 1/10 of a furlong. It was commonly employed in the United States and the United Kingdom and is now primarily used in land measurement for agricultural and forestry purposes.
Definition of BarnA barn is a unit of area measurement used in nuclear physics to quantify the effective cross-sectional area of nuclei and scattering processes. The term originates from the phrase 'as big as a barn,' expressing a large cross section. One barn equals 10^-28 square meters. It's used to simplify the representation of cross sections in the subatomic scale where typical units are impractically small.
| Square Chain (ch²) | Barn (b) |
|---|---|
| 1 ch² | 2.4711 × 10^31 b |
| 2 ch² | 4.9422 × 10^31 b |
| 3 ch² | 7.4133 × 10^31 b |
| 4 ch² | 9.8844 × 10^31 b |
| 5 ch² | 1.23555 × 10^32 b |
| 6 ch² | 1.48266 × 10^32 b |
| 7 ch² | 1.72977 × 10^32 b |
| 8 ch² | 1.97688 × 10^32 b |
| 9 ch² | 2.22399 × 10^32 b |
| 10 ch² | 2.4711 × 10^32 b |
1 ch² = 2.4711 × 10^31 b
1 b = 4.04686 × 10^-32 ch²
Example 1:
convert 1 ch² to b:
1 ch² = 1 × 2.4711 × 10^31 b = 2.4711 × 10^31 b
Example 2:
convert 5 ch² to b:
5 ch² = 5 × 2.4711 × 10^31 b = 1.23555 × 10^32 b
The Square Chain to Barn Converter has its roots in the needs of nuclear physics and real estate.
