A huge circular container is observed from two diametrically opposite position X and Y on the earth. The angle subtended by the two directions of observations is `1^(@)26'4''`. The diameter of earth is about `1.27xx10^(7)m`. What is the distance of container from earth?

Explanation

To find the distance of the huge circular container from the Earth, we can use the concept of parallax. Here’s the step-by-step solution:

### Step 1: Convert the angle from degrees, minutes, and seconds to seconds
The angle given is \(1^\circ 26' 4''\).

1. **Convert degrees to seconds**:
- \(1^\circ = 60 \text{ minutes} = 3600 \text{ seconds}\)
- Therefore, \(1^\circ = 3600 \text{ seconds}\).
