The local time at Greenwich meridian is 1200hours. What will be the local time at Diani located 40°E of the Greenwich meridian?
Step 1: Determine the time difference per degree of longitude.
The Earth rotates 360∘ in 24 hours.
1hour=24hours360∘=15∘
So, for every 15∘ of longitude, there is a 1-hour time difference.
Step 2: Calculate the total time difference for 40∘ East.
Time difference=DegreesperhourLongitudedifference
Time difference=15∘/hour40∘
Time difference=38 hours
Time difference=2hoursand32 of an hour
Step 3: Convert the fractional hour to minutes.
32hours×60minutes/hour=40 minutes
So, the total time difference is 2 hours and 40 minutes.
Step 4: Calculate the local time at Diani.
Since Diani is East of the Greenwich Meridian, the time will be ahead.
Local time at Diani=TimeatGreenwich+Time difference
Local time at Diani=12:00hours+2hours40 minutes
Local time at Diani=14:40 hours
The local time at Diani will be 14:40hours.
