At a place the true value of angle of dip is 60 ° . If dip circle is rotated by ϕ ° from magnetic meridian, the angle of dip is found to be tan - 1 ( 2 ) . Then the value of ϕ is
Options
- A45 °
- B15 °
- C60 °
- D30 °
Correct answer
D. 30 °
Step-by-step solution
tan ⁡ δ ′ = tan ⁡ δ cos ⁡ x o tan ⁡ tan - 1 ⁡ 2 = tan ⁡ 60 o cos ⁡ x o Or, cos ⁡ x ° = 3 2 ∴ x = 30 °
