Russian Archin


The archin (also spelled arshin) is a traditional Russian unit of length that was widely used before the adoption of the metric system. It is approximately equal to 28 inches or 0.7112 meters.


The archin was commonly used in measuring cloth, land, and building dimensions in Russia and neighboring regions. It roughly corresponds to the length of a forearm from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger, similar to the cubit.


Though obsolete today, the archin remains an important part of Russian historical measurements and appears in older legal and trade documents.

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 β€œrope” 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.
