Question:
You are at a location that needs to be determined. You poke a one-meter long straight stick into the ground vertically. At a certain hour when you estimate that the solar declination is about 23.45oN, the stick casts a 0.959 m long shadow. You then repeat the measurement in the same place and at the same solar time when the declination is zero and find that the shadow is 1.052 m long.
