Assume that the Earth is spherical and recall that latitudes range from 0? at the Equator to 90? N at the North Pole. Consider Copenhagen (55.67? N latitude), and Rome (41.90? N latitude). The two cities lie on approximately the same longitude. Do not neglect the curvature of the Earth in determining the following
If one could burrow through the Earth and dig a straight-line tunnel from Copenhagen to Rome, how long would the tunnel be
From the point of view of the digger, at what angle below the horizontal would the tunnel be directed
