A magnet hung at 45°45 ° with magnetic meridian makes an angle of 60°60 ° with the horizontal. The actual value of the angle of dip is

Options

  1. Atan⁡−1(32)\tan^{- 1}\left(\sqrt{\dfrac{3}{2}}\right)
  2. Btan⁡−1(6)\tan^{- 1}\left(\sqrt{6}\right)
  3. Ctan⁡−1(23)\tan^{- 1}\left(\sqrt{\dfrac{2}{3}}\right)
  4. Dtan⁡−1(12)\tan^{- 1}\left(\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{2}}\right)

Correct answer

A. tan⁡−1(32)\tan^{- 1}\left(\sqrt{\dfrac{3}{2}}\right)

Step-by-step solution

Given here, θ′=60°\theta ' = 60 ° and apparent value of dip, α=45°\alpha = 45 °.

If HH is horizontal component of earth's magnetic field in magnetic meridian, then tanθ′=VHtan{\theta}^{'} = \dfrac{V}{H}.

Let H1{H}_{1} be component of HH at 60°60 ° to magnetic meridian, then tanθ=VH1=VHcosα=tanθ′cosαtan\theta = \dfrac{V}{{H}_{1}} = \dfrac{V}{Hcos\alpha} = \dfrac{tan{\theta}^{'}}{cos\alpha}

tanθ=tan⁡60°×cos⁡45°tan\theta = \tan 60 ° \times \cos 45 °

⇒tanθ=3×12⇒ tan\theta = \sqrt{3} \times \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}

Thus, the actual value of the angle of dip is θ=tan⁡−132\theta = \tan^{- 1}\sqrt{\dfrac{3}{2}}
