P9.1 The longitude of a location is 93°W and the standard longitude of the time zone is 90°W. The northern latitude of the location is 35º. Calculate (i) the solar time, (ii) the hour angle, (iii) the solar altitude angle, and (iv) the solar azimuth angle at the location when the standard clock time is 11.30 a.m. on August 10. The clock time is advanced by one hour for daylight saving.
