The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the angle of inclination and declination of the Earth's magnetic field based on the given horizontal and vertical components of the magnetic field. ### Given: - Horizontal component of the magnetic field, \( B_H = 3^{1/2} \, \text{G} \) at an angle of \( 5^\circ \) West of North. - Vertical component of the magnetic field, \( B_V = 1 \, \text{G} \) vertically upward. ### Step 1: Understanding the Components The horizontal component \( B_H \) is directed at \( 5^\circ \) West of North. This means that the magnetic field is tilted towards the west from the north direction. ### Step 2: Calculate the Angle of Inclination The angle of inclination \( \theta \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ \tan(\theta) = \frac{B_V}{B_H} \] Substituting the values: \[ \tan(\theta) = \frac{1 \, \text{G}}{3^{1/2} \, \text{G}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \] From trigonometric values, we know that: \[ \tan(30^\circ) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \] Thus, we find: \[ \theta = 30^\circ \] ### Step 3: Determine the Angle of Declination The declination angle \( D \) is the angle between the magnetic meridian and the geographic meridian. Since the horizontal component is directed \( 5^\circ \) West of North, the declination angle is: \[ D = 5^\circ \, \text{West} \] ### Conclusion The angles of inclination and declination are: - Angle of Inclination \( \theta = 30^\circ \) - Angle of Declination \( D = 5^\circ \, \text{West} \) ### Final Answer The angle of inclination and declination are respectively \( 30^\circ \) and \( 5^\circ \, \text{West} \). ---
