Question

In a certain place on the surface of earth, angle of dip in a vertical plane ‘P’ is 300 . At the same place, angle of dip in another vertical plane ‘Q’ which is perpendicular to the plane. ‘P’, is  600. Then true angle of dip at that place is

Moderate
Solution

If true angle of dip at that place is δ , then

cot2δ   =   cot2δp+cot2δQ           =cot2300+cot2600           =3+13=103    δ=tan1310
