Условие
Consider a horizontal sundial where the triangular gnomon rises at an angle equal to the sundial site’s latitude, . If the area of the triangular gnomon is 2 m, what would be the area of the shadow in three hours after the noon in the first day of spring (vernal equinox)?
(a) 3.0
(b) 3.5
(c) 2.5
(d) 1.5
(e) 4.0

Отговори
- C
Решение
The area of the shadow can be calculated by where A is the area of the triangular gnomon. Also, and are altitude and azimuth of the sun, respectively. Given that the declination of the sun is zero, so, and where is the hour angle of the sun. Therefore, the area of the shadow is .
Answer: C
