Nanometers (nm) are critical in nanotechnology, biology (DNA helix = 2 nm wide), and computing (transistors are 3–5 nm). A human hair is ~80,000 nm thick. The decameter (dam) is used to measure medium-scale distances like the length of a tennis court (~2.3 dam) or a cricket pitch (~2.0 dam). It’s also practical for land surveying and agricultural plots (e.g., a small field might be 10 dam × 20 dam).
To convert between Nanometer (nm) and Decameter (dam), use the following formulas:
1 Nanometer (nm) = 1e-10 Decameter (dam)
1 Decameter (dam) = 10000000000 Nanometer (nm)
1 nm = 1 * 1e-10 dam = 1e-10 dam
10 nm = 10 * 1e-10 dam = 1e-9 dam
100 nm = 100 * 1e-10 dam = 1e-8 dam
500 nm = 500 * 1e-10 dam = 5.0000000000000004e-8 dam
| Nanometer (nm) | Decameter (dam) |
|---|---|
| 1 nm | 1e-10 dam |
| 5 nm | 5e-10 dam |
| 10 nm | 1e-9 dam |
| 50 nm | 5e-9 dam |
| 100 nm | 1e-8 dam |
| 500 nm | 5.0000000000000004e-8 dam |
