can we find the black area
(the shadow of earth)on the moon during
moon eclipse after time t of
its starting?
Given:
Moon radius=R_m
Earth rafius=R_e
Sun radius=R_s
ω_e and ω_m given(both anticlockwise)
ω_m ⇒Earth is center
ω_e ⇒Sun is center
Sun Earth distance(center)=L_(S−E)
Earth Moon distance(center)=L_(E−M)
Show that the equation
(1/(sinθ+cosθ)) + (1/(sinθ−cosθ)) = 1
may be express in the form
a(sinθ)^2 +bsinθ+c=0 where a b
and c are constants to be found.
