Calculate the time at Durban (longitude
30° & when the time at New York is 7 am and
(longitude 750 degree w )
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
When the time in New York is 7 AM then GMT will be 12 PM since New York is 75° West to the Greenwich which means the time in New York will be late by (75°÷15°= 5) 5 hours than Greenwich Mean Time. Since Durban is located 30 ° East of the Greenwich therefore, the time at Durban will be 2 (30°÷15°) hours preceding of GMT. Accordingly, 2 PM will be the time in Durban.

Hey friend!
Given,
→ Longitude of Durban is 30° E
→ Longitude of New York is 75° W
To calculate time at Durban when time at New York is 7 am
We know that each 1° longitudinal difference is equal to 4 minutes time interval.
Then,
Longitudinal difference is 75° + 30°
= 105°
That means total time difference = longitudinal difference × 4 minutes
= 105 × 4 minutes
= 420 minutes
= 7 hours
As the east of Greenwich meridian= positive convention → addition
Thus, time at Durban is 07:00 + 07:00 hrs [24 hrs format]
= 14:00 hrs
= 2:00 pm
Additional information: As a part of daylight savings convention, when it is winter in Durban, the time adds up +1 hr ↔ that means 3:00 pm at Durban.
