Question: Question 3 ( 2 0 ) A ship sails 1 8 0 0 k m by great circle arc until it reaches 4 5 N

Question 3(20)
A ship sails 1800km by great circle arc until it reaches 45N. At that moment its longitude is 40E and its azimuth is 40. What was its initial position and azimuth? (14+6).
Question 4(3+3+3+11)
a. What is the gravitational law for two point masses? (3)
b. What is gravitational potential? (3)
c. Define an equipotential surface and give one example (3)
d. Gravitational acceleration at a given latitude (g) is computed by:
g=g0(1+sin2+sin2)
where g0 is the value at the equator, of 978.0318 gals (9.780318ms2),
a=0.0053024
=-0.0000058
Determine gravitational acceleration at the following latitudes and explain the change in results: 10,45 and 90
Question 5
Given the ECEF coordinates of point C (WGS84,a=6378137.00m and b=6356752.31m as follows:
xC=12,046.58m,YC=-4,849,394.08m,ZC=-4,553,160.06m
Compute geodetic coordinates. (20).
