The value of dip at a place is 45^@ . The plane of the dip circle is turned through 60^@ from the magnetic meridian. Find the apparent value of dip.

The true value of dip at a place is 30^(@) . The vertical plane carrying the needle is turned through 45^(@) from the magnetic meridian . Calculate the apparent value of dip .

The dip at a place is delta. For measuring it, the axis of the dip needle is perpendicular to the magnetic meridian. If the axis of the dip needle makes angle theta with the magnetic meridian, the apparent dip will be given tan delta_(1) which is equal to:

The plane of dip circle is set in the geographic meridian and the apparent dip is theta_(1) . It is then set in a vertical plane perpendicular to the geographic meridian. Now, the apparent dip is theta_(2) . The angle of declination theta at that place is
