When the Jupiter is at a distance of 824.7 million km from the earth, its angular diameter is measured to be 35.72 sec of an arc. Calculate the diameter of jupiter.

A

234265.54 km

B

142745.38 km

C

312108.82 km

D

121310.12 km

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(b) Given, `prop=35.72s` of arc
So, `prop=(35.72xxpi)/(60xx60xx180)rad`
`D=824.7xx10^(6)`km
Diameter of jupiter,`d=Dprop`
`therefore` `d=(824.7xx10^(6)xx35.72pi)/(60xx60xx180)`
=142745.38 km
