Surveys of public lands

A survey is a method used to determine the relative positions of various objects on the land by measuring the horizontal distances between them. Briefly, a survey is a process of accumulation of data of various details related to land. The main objective of surveying land is to prepare maps to a suitable scale. Various types of maps such as topographical maps, cadastral maps, engineering maps, military maps, contour maps, geological maps, archaeological maps, and so on can be prepared by surveying.

Question

1. Geographic coordinates of a given point on a spheroid is expressed as latitude
and longitude. At a point whose latitude is 15N and longitude of 120-30E, the
semi-axis a=6374402m., b=6354684m. Compute the radius of the prime
vertical.
