EXERCISE XLII.

1. If x denotes the angle required, sin x = cos 18° sec 9°, x = 148° 42′. 2. cos x = cos A cos B.

3. Let w = the inclination of the edge c to the plane of a and b. Then it is easily shown that V= abc sin l sin w. Now, conceive a sphere constructed having for centre the vertex of the trihedral angle whose edges are a, b, c. The spherical triangle, whose vertices are the points where a, b, c meet the surface of this sphere, has for its sides l, m, n; and w is equal to the perpendicular arc from the side to the opposite vertex. Let L, M, N denote the angles of this triangle. Then, by means of [39] and [48], we find that sin w = sin m sin N = 2 sin m sin N cos N

t 15

of sunset= o'clock P.M.; cos a = sin d sec l. For longest day

at Boston: time of sunrise, 4 hrs. 26 min. 50 sec. A.M.; time of sunset, 7 hrs. 33 min. 10 sec. P.M. Azimuth of sun at these times, 57° 25′ 15′′; length of day, 15 hrs. 6 min. 20 sec.; for shortest day, times of sunrise and sunset are 7 hrs. 33 min. 10 sec. A. M. and 4 hrs. 26 min. 50 sec. P.M.; azimuth of sun, 122° 34′ 45′′; length of day, 8 hrs. 53 min. 40 sec.

12. The problem is impossible when cot d <tanl; that is, for places in the frigid zone.

13. For the northern hemisphere and positive declination,

sin h = sin l sin d, cot a = cos l tan d.

Example: h = 17° 14′ 35′′, a = 73° 51′ 34′′ E.

14. The farther the place from the equator, the greater the sun's altitude at 6 A.M. in summer. At the equator it is 0°. At the north pole it is equal to the sun's declination. At a given place, the sun's altitude at 6 A.M. is a maximum on the longest day of the year, and then sin h = sin l sin e (where e 23° 27′).

15. cost = cot l tan d. Times of bearing due east and due west are

t

t

12 o'clock A.M., and 15 o'clock P.M., respectively.

15

Example: 6 hrs. 58 min. A.M. and 5 hrs. 2 min. P.M.

16. When the days and nights are equal, d = 0°, cos t = 0, t = 90°; that is, sun is everywhere due east at 6 A.M., and due west at 6 P.M. Since I and d must both be less than 90°, cos t cannot be negative, therefore t cannot be greater than 90°. As d increases, t decreases; that is, the times in question both approach noon. If l<d, then cos t>1; therefore this case is impossible. If l=d, then cost = 1, and t=0°; that is, the times both coincide with noon. The explanation of this result is, that for d= the sun at noon is in the zenith, and south of the prime vertical at every other time. And if l>d, the diurnal circle of the sun and the prime vertical of the place meet in two points which separate further and further as 1 increases. At the pole the prime vertical is indeterminate; but near the pole, t = 90°, and the sun is always east at 6 A.M.

17. sin l = sin d csc h.

18. 11° 50′ 35′′.

19. The bearing of the wall, reckoned from the north point of the horizon, is given by the equation cotx= cos l tand; whence, for the given case, x = 75° 12′ 38′′.
