Correction of Latitude by Transit Rule Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Correction to Latitude = Error in Latitude*Latitude of Line/Sum of Latitudes
c_l/r = e_l/r*L/ƩL
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Correction to Latitude - (Measured in Meter) - Correction to Latitude is the improvement given to the latitude distance.
Error in Latitude - (Measured in Meter) - Error in latitude is the error occurred either in measurement or noting while surveying.
Latitude of Line - (Measured in Meter) - Latitude of Line is the projection of the specific line in north-south direction.
Sum of Latitudes - (Measured in Meter) - Sum of Latitudes is the algebraic sum of latitudes where latitude of a line is its projection onto the reference meridian (north-south line).

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Error in Latitude: 49 Meter --> 49 Meter No Conversion Required
Latitude of Line: 20 Meter --> 20 Meter No Conversion Required
Sum of Latitudes: 40 Meter --> 40 Meter No Conversion Required
