Answer

(i) Given,

cos 48° 36′

⇒ cos 48° 36′ = cos 48° 36′

From table we have,

cos 48° 36′ = 0.6613

Mean difference of 0′ = 0.0000

Therefore,

cos 48° 36′ = 0.6613

Hence, cos 48° 36′ = 0.6613.

(ii) Given,

cos 23° 6′

⇒ cos 23° 6′ = cos 23° 6′

From table we have,

cos 23° 6′ = 0.9198

Mean difference of 0′ = 0.0000

Therefore,

cos 23° 6′ = 0.9198

Hence, cos 23° 6′ = 0.9198.

(iii) Given,

cos 70° 17′

⇒ cos 70° 18′ − 1′

From table we have,

cos 70° 18′ = 0.3371

Mean difference of 1′ = 0.0003 (to be added)

Therefore,

cos 70° 17′ = 0.3371 + 0.0003

cos 70° 17′ = 0.3374

Hence, cos 70° 17′ = 0.3374.

(iv) Given,

cos 85° 8′

From table we have,

cos 85° 6′ = 0.0854

Mean difference of 2′ = 0.0006 (to be subtracted)

Therefore,

cos 85° 8′ = 0.0854 − 0.0006

cos 85° 8′ = 0.0848

Hence, cos 85° 8′ = 0.0848.
