Question

the moon is observed from two diametrically opposite point A and B on earth.the angle theta subtended at the moon by the two directions of observation is 1°54' .given the diameter of the earth to the earth to be about 1.276×10^7 m. compute the distance of the moon from the earth.
plz................friends help

Answer 1

ø=1°54'=114'=(114×60)"=114×60×4.85×10^-6 rad = 3.32×10^-2 rad
Basis, b=AB=1.276×10^7 m
So, the distance of the moon from the earth,
S= b/ø =(1.276×10^7)÷(3.32×10-2)= 3.84×10^8 (ans)

Answer 2

Answer:

The undesirable change in the atmosphere is known as atmospheric pollution. The substances providing pollutants are called agents. The substances causing pollution are called pollutants. The water is acidified due to the traces of sulphuric acid and nitric acid.
