Rope

A rope is a traditional unit of length used mainly in land measurement, especially in parts of India, Pakistan, and other South Asian countries. The exact length of a rope can vary by region, but it is generally around 20 to 25 feet (approximately 6 to 7.6 meters).

In some places, a rope is defined as 20 feet or 6.096 meters, and it is often used in agriculture and construction for measuring land or distances. The term “rope” is more of a customary or local measurement rather than a standardized unit like a foot or meter.

Because of its regional nature, the rope is not commonly used in international or scientific contexts, but it remains important in traditional surveying and rural land measurement in certain areas.

Hectometer

A hectometer (hm) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to 100 meters. It is larger than a meter but smaller than a kilometer. While it is part of the official metric system, the hectometer is rarely used in daily life or science. For example, a running track is 400 meters long, which is 4 hectometers. The symbol for hectometer is "hm". Although not commonly seen, it can be useful for measuring medium-range distances, especially when kilometers feel too large and meters too small.
