9. A solar observation is made in the afternoon and the following quantities have been determined: N14°05' - latitude of place of observation (1) 40°32' - true latitude of sun (h) N07°23' - sun's apparent declination (d) The instrument is set up at point A and mark is sighted at point B. If the measured horizontal clockwise angle from the line to the sun were recorded as follows: 222°08', 222°12', 222°09', 222°13', 222°16', and 222°20', determine the following: a. the sun's azimuth from north

Problem 9 The azimuth of a line was determined by observing the altitude of a star from the western hemisphere on Aug. 19, 2006. The line is located in an area with a latitude of 48°15'24". The star was observed to have a zenith angle of 32°44'56", declination of 10°26'37", and horizontal reading of 113°16'07". Calculate the corrected azimuth of the line.
Question 6 Q6) In an attempt to verify if this law is obeyed by the light from a source the above setup was used. The light intensity I from the light bulb was recorded at various distance r and the observations are shown below.

Please help with b, i & ii The slope distance between two stations A and B measured with EDM when corrected for meteorological conditions and instrument constants, is 113.893 m. The heights of the instrument and reflector are 1.739 m and 1.839 m, respectively, above the ground. To measure the vertical angle a theodolite was set up at A, 1.665 m above the ground and a target at B having height above the ground as 1.632 m. The measured angle above the horizontal was + 4°22′18″. Determine a. The horizontal length of the line AB. b. To what precision the slope angle be measured: i. if the relative precision of the reduced horizontal distance is to be 1/100000. ii. if the reduced horizontal distance is to have a standard error of ± 1.8 mm.
