Answer 1

answer:

At a place Be is the earth’s magnetic field and BH is its horizontal component. If at that place is the dip angle, then ratio of Be to BH is secδ.

explanation:

Using the relation

BH = Becosδ

Be/BH=1/cosδ

Be/BH=secδ

Answer 2

Given the statement that vertical component of the magnetic Bv is under root 3 times the horizontal component of magnetic field Bh, which implies that the ratio of the vertical component of magnetic field to the horizontal component of magnetic field equals to  under root 3;

Bv/ Bh = √3

But the basic formula says that; Bv/ Bh = Tanδ

So comparing both the equations, we'll achieve;

Tanδ = √3 , and Tangent function gives the value of √3 at the angle of 60° so the angle of dip is 60°

δ = 60°
