The attached ASCII file prob1.dat includes the geocentric cartesian coordinates for points A and B together with the semi-major axis length of your ellipsoid corresponding to your Student-ID. Inverse flattening is given as 298.257223563. By using these inputs calculate a. (10 pts) the semi-minor axis length and polar radius of curvature (all with mm precision), b. (10 pts) the radius of curvature in the prime vertical, the ellipsoidal latitude, longitude, and height of the point A (all with mm precision), c. (15 pts) the slant distance, azimuth, zenith angle between the points A and B measured at point A, d. (5 pts) the projected distance of the slant distance on point As horizon.
