Distance to the Moon The moon is a relatively close celestial object, so its distance can be measured directly by taking two different photographs at precisely the same time from two different locations. The moon will have a different angle of elevation at each location. On April 2 9,1976. at 11:35 a.m., the lunar
Calculate the distance to the moon, to the nearest thousand kilometers, from Bochum on this day. and compare it with the actual value of 406,000 km. Disregard the curvature of Earth in this calculation. (Source: Scholosser, W., T. Schmidt-Kaler, and E. Milone, Challenges of Astronomy, Springer-Verlag.)

The grasping end of this robot can only move in a circle of fixed length L. Using trigonometry, determine the x and y locations of the grasping end in terms of the fixed length L, and the variable angle 0 per Figure 1b. Create a MATLAB script that calculates this x, y position for any L and 0, and creates a plot of this configuration. (Recall: when we are plotting points, we use the plot ([x values], [y values]) command and put the x and y values of the points inside the square brackets [i.e. plot([0 x], [0 y]). Use this script to find and plot the configurations below: a a. L = 10,0 = 45° b. L= 10,0 = π/3 = c. L 5,0 205° d. L= 15,0 = -2/3 b Ꮎ ✗ yarrow_forwardCalculate the length x.
