when The gmt is 10
local Time of a place at long 64
please answer
Oh my, a bit east of me but west of London so earlier
360 deg = 24 hr
so
60 deg = (24 hr/360 deg) * 60 deg= 60/15 = 4 hours earlier than London
10 - 4 = 6
By the way I do not do navigation until home from the gym.
To determine the local time of a place given the GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) and longitude, you can use the following steps:
1. Find the difference between the longitude of the place in question and the longitude of the GMT time zone (0 degrees longitude, which passes through Greenwich, London).
In this case, the longitude of the place is given as 64 degrees. Since GMT is based on 0 degrees longitude, the difference between the two longitudes is 64 degrees.
2. Determine the time difference for every 15 degrees of longitude.
Every 15 degrees of longitude corresponds to a time difference of 1 hour. Therefore, for every 15 degrees west of the Greenwich meridian (as in this case), you would subtract 1 hour from the GMT.
3. Calculate the time difference for the given longitude.
Since the given longitude is 64 degrees, you divide this by 15 to find the number of hours to subtract from the GMT.
64 degrees ÷ 15 degrees/hour = 4.2667 hours.
4. Adjust the local time by the calculated time difference.
Given that the GMT is 10, subtract the calculated time difference from it. In this case, since the time difference is 4.2667 hours, subtract it from 10.
10 - 4.2667 = 5.7333
Therefore, the local time at a place with a longitude of 64 degrees would be approximately 5.73 AM (rounded to two decimal places) when the GMT is 10.
