You find yourself on a desert island and all you have is a copy of your textbook, Fundamentals of Renewable Energy Processes and a watch. The sky is very cloudy, so you can not see the stars. You determine that the time between sunset and sunrise is 10:05:10. You know the date is Dec 30, 2019. With this information is possible to figure out the latitude. Find it. Is this North or South? Use solar times for all calculations.
day length = 10.05.10
so converting them in hours
n = number of days
n = January + February + March + April + May + June + July + August + September + October + November + December(till 30th Dec)
n = 31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 +30 +31 + 31 + 30 +31 + 30 + 30 = 364 days
As the phi is positive so we shall be in the NORTH

Deep in the physics and astronomy basement storeroom, you find a very large concave spherical mirror from an old telescope. The mirror is 2 m across, and has a radius of curvature of 14.0 m. Because this is just a small piece of such a large sphere, the angle of incidence for on-axis rays will always be below 5°, minimizing spherical aberration You try out the mirror for use as a full-length wall mirror. If you look at yourself in...
