Question: A nautical mile depends on latitude. It is defined as length of a minute of arc of the earth's radius. The formula is: \(N\left( P \right)=6066-31\cos \left( 2P \right)\), where P is the latitude in degrees.
-
Using the Library and other course resources, find the exact latitude (to 4 decimal places) of where you live, used to live, work, or used to work (include the zip code). -
Using the latitude found in part a and the formula N(P), find the length of a nautical mile to the nearest foot at that location. -
Next, use the formula N(P) to find the latitude where the nautical mile is 6051 feet. -
Name two cities in the Northern Hemisphere and two in the Southern that are close to the latitude found in part c.
