The circular length of the arc = Pi/180 x angle in degrees x radius
L = Pi/180 x 1/3600 x 40 = 0.000193925 ft. = 0.00233 inches
Just slightly more than two-thousands of an inch.
A second of arc.
An arc second is a measure of angular separation, not of distance. It is therefore an inappropriate unit for measuring the distance to a star.
there are 60 seconds in one minute. An arc minute is 1/60 degree and an arc second is 1/3600 degree
To convert arc (angular distance) to time, you can use the formula based on the speed of the rotating object. If you know the angular velocity (in degrees per second or radians per second) and the arc length (in degrees or radians), you can calculate the time it takes to travel that arc by dividing the arc length by the angular velocity. For example, if an object rotates at 30 degrees per second and you have an arc of 90 degrees, the time taken would be 90 degrees ÷ 30 degrees/second = 3 seconds.

One arc second is one 3600th of a degree.
A second of arc.
An arc-second is equivalent to one sixtieth (1/60) of one arc-minute. An arc-minute is equivalent to one sixtieth (1/60) of one degree.
An arc second is a measure of angular separation, not of distance. It is therefore an inappropriate unit for measuring the distance to a star.
Arc radius 23 feet 9 inches (7.24 m), no less than 3 feet (0.91 m) from each sideline
The measure of the central angle divided by 360 degrees equals the arc length divided by the circumference. So 18 degrees/360 degrees=arc length/(9 feet*2pi). 1/20=arc length/18pi feet; arc length=9pi/10 feet. It's refreshing to answer a question that is written with grammatical accuracy!
there are 60 seconds in one minute. An arc minute is 1/60 degree and an arc second is 1/3600 degree
0.01 arc second is one hundredth of an arc-second.An arc-second is one sixtieth of an arc-minute. (There are about 30 arc-seconds across the visible diameter of the Sun or Moon).An arc-minute is one sixtieth of a degree.A degree is one three hundred and sixtieth of a circle.So a hundredth of an arc-second is a good resolution for a fine telescope.If you have an image of the Moon where the moon is 3000 pixels wide (probably twice the width of your computer screen) then 0.01 arc-second is one pixel.
