Question

A dip needle lies initially in the magnetic meridian when it shows an angle of dip θ at a place. When the dip circle is rotated through an angle 30o in the horizontal plane, the dip needle shows an angle of dip θ1. Then the value of tanθ1tanθ is 

Moderate
Solution

Initially BVBH=tanθ, finally BVBH.cosx=tanθ1

tanθ1tanθ=1cosx=1cos30o=23
