Assume that the earth is a perfect sphere of radius 3960 miles. By the heading, h(ã, P), of a directed, great circle arc a at the point P on the arc we mean the angle made with the "latitude" circle. You are to "file a flight plan" for a direct flight from Syracuse to Cape Town, South Africa. Assume that the map coordinates of Syracuse are 43°N, 76oW and the map coordinates of Cape Town are 34 S, 18°F. The flight plan should include the following items: (a) the conversion of the navigational coordinates of Syracuse and Cape Town to spherical coordinates-(HB, B) for Syracuse and (pc, 0c) for Cape Town;
