| Convert from shed to square chain [Gunter, survey] |
Unit Definition (shed) The shed is an exceptionally small unit of area used in particle physics. Like its big brother, the barn, the shed is used to express the apparent cross-sectional area of a particle from which other particles are scattered. One shed equals 10E-24 barn, which is 10E-52 square meter or 0.0001 square yoctometer. Unit Definition (square chain [Gunter, survey]) The square chain [Gunter, survey] is a traditional unit of area in English surveying, defined to be the area of a square whose side equals Gunter's chain (4 rods or 22 yards). Thus the square chain equals 16 square rods, 484 square yards, 4356 square feet, or exactly 0.1 acre.
