Embark on a seamless conversion journey from cords (cd) to acre-feet (ac ft) with Newtum's intuitive tool. Discover the ease of transforming volume measurements with accuracy.
A cord is a unit of measure for wood volume, commonly used in forestry and logging. It represents a well-stacked woodpile measuring 4 feet high, 4 feet wide, and 8 feet long, totaling 128 cubic feet. This traditional unit helps accurately quantify firewood or pulpwood in the United States and Canada.
Definition of Acre-footAn acre-foot is a volume measurement used primarily in the United States for large-scale water resources. It represents the volume of water required to cover one acre of land to a depth of one foot, equivalent to 43,560 cubic feet or about 325,851 gallons. This unit is crucial for managing water distribution in irrigation and urban planning.
| Cord (cd) | Acre-foot (ac ft) |
|---|---|
| 0.1 cd | 0.0025 ac ft |
| 0.5 cd | 0.0125 ac ft |
| 1 cd | 0.025 ac ft |
| 2 cd | 0.05 ac ft |
| 3 cd | 0.075 ac ft |
| 4 cd | 0.1 ac ft |
| 5 cd | 0.125 ac ft |
| 10 cd | 0.25 ac ft |
| 20 cd | 0.5 ac ft |
| 50 cd | 1.25 ac ft |
1 cd = 0.025 ac ft
1 ac ft = 40 cd
Example 1:
Convert 2 cds to ac ft:
2 cd = 2 × 0.025 ac ft = 0.05 ac ft
Example 2:
Convert 5 cds to ac ft:
5 cd = 5 × 0.025 ac ft = 0.125 ac ft
The Cord to Acre-foot Converter has roots in the forestry and agricultural industries, where precise volume measurements are crucial for resource management. Its development reflects the need to translate traditional wood volume units into water resource equivalents for diverse applications such as irrigation planning and reservoir capacity estimation.
Delve into the practical applications of converting cords to acre-feet and uncover how this tool facilitates various industry needs.
Example 1:
If you have 3 cords of wood, the conversion to acre-feet would be:
3 cd = 3 × 0.025 ac ft = 0.075 ac ft
Example 2:
For 10 cords of wood, the conversion to acre-feet would be:
10 cd = 10 × 0.025 ac ft = 0.25 ac ft
Q1: What is a cord and how is it used in this converter?
