- Radius of the Earth In Exercise 80 of Section 5.1 a method was given for finding the radius of the earth. Here is a more modern method From a satellite 600 mi above the earth it is observed that the angle formed by the vertical and the line of sight to the horizon is 60.276. Use this information to find the radius of the earth.arrow_forwardRoad Grade A straight road rises with an inclination of 0.2 radian from the horizontal. Find the slope of the road and the change in elevation over a one-mile section of the road.arrow_forward
