Chapter 4, Problem 4.2PE

(Geometry: great circle distance) The great circle distance is the distance between two points on the surface of a sphere. Let (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) be the geographical latitude and longitude of two points. The great circle distance between the two points can be computed using the following formula:

Chapter 4, Problem 4.2PE, (Geometry: great circle distance) The great circle distance is the distance between two points on , example  1

     d = r a d i u s × arccos ( sin ( x 1 ) ) × sin ( x 2 ) + cos ( x 1 ) × cos ( x 2 ) × cos ( y 1 y 2 )

Write a program that prompts the user to enter the latitude and longitude of two points on the earth in degrees and displays its great circle distance. The average radius of the earth is 6,371.01 km. Note you need to convert the degrees into radians using the Math. toRadians method since the Java trigonometric methods use radians. The latitude and longitude degrees in the formula are for north and west. Use negative to indicate south and east degrees. Here is a sample run:

"NEED ONLY CODE NO EXPLANATION"  Harry has a big wall clock, that got hit while he was playing. Now, the minute hand doesn't rotate by the angle 2π/3600 each second, but now it moves according to different angle x. You can assume that coordinates of the centre of the clock are (0, 0) and the length of the minute hand is l. One endpoint of the minute hand is always located at the clock centre; the other endpoint is initially located at the point (0, l). One second later, Harry observes that this endpoint is at distance d above the x-axis, i.e., the y-coordinate of this endpoint is equal to d. Harry is curious about where the minute hand will be (specifically, its y-coordinate) after t seconds. Because t can be very large, Harry can't wait for that moment. Please help him to write a python code that prints a single line containing the output. Input: 4 2 2 Output 4
(True or False) Seven different positive integers are randomly chosen between 1 and 2022 (including 1 and 2022).There must be a pair of these integers has a difference that is a multiple of 6.
