5. Point A is between points B and C. The distances of B and C from point A are 1500m and 2600m respectively. Measured from point A, the angle of elevation of point B is 18°31' while that of C is 0. The difference in elevations of B and C is 65.3m. Considering the effects of curvature and refraction, what is the value of 0 in degrees and minutes? Assume that B is higher that C.
