Millimeter


A millimeter (mm) is a very small unit of length in the metric system. It is commonly used to measure tiny objects or precise dimensions. One millimeter is equal to one-thousandth of a meter (1 mm = 0.001 m), and 10 millimeters make 1 centimeter. Millimeters are often used in fields like engineering, machining, and science where exact measurements are important. For example, the thickness of a credit card is about 1 mm. The symbol for millimeter is "mm", and you can find it on most rulers or measuring tools. Since it allows for high accuracy, the millimeter is ideal for measuring small parts, gaps, or details.


Famn


A famn (also spelled fathom in English) is a traditional Scandinavian unit of length used primarily for measuring the depth of water or length of ropes and cables. It is roughly equivalent to 6 Swedish feet, which translates to about 1.828 meters (approximately 6 feet).


The famn is similar in concept to the English fathom, based on the span of outstretched arms.


While largely obsolete today, the famn was commonly used in maritime contexts in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark and remains part of historical measurements.
